Canada appeal Olympic points deduction but not ban on coaching staff
July 30 – Canada have appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over the decision to dock their women’s team six points in the ongoing Olympic drone spying scandal. But they have stopped short of appealing head coach Bev Priestman’s one-year ban.
The appeal was launched jointly by the Canadian FA and the Canadian Olympic Committee with a fast-track hearing “likely to take place” today and a verdict expected tomorrow.
The reigning Olympic champions were docked six points and fined CHF 200,000 by FIFA after a staff member used a drone to spy on New Zealand’s training session last week.
