The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has made a decision regarding Canada's appeal of a six-point deduction to both its Olympic squads. This deduction was imposed due to an incident where a staff member flew a drone to film the closed-door training of the New Zealand women's soccer team.
The individual responsible for flying the drone, Joseph Lombardi, identified as an 'unaccredited analyst with Canada Soccer' by the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), received an eight-month suspended prison sentence. Lombardi was sent home from the Olympics, along with assistant coach Jasmine Mander, to whom he shared his report.
