SAINT ETIENNE, France – The Olympic drone spy scandal is now extending to the men’s team.

Canada Soccer CEO Kevin Blue revealed Friday the national federation is sorting through what appears to be a systemic practice of spying on opponents in the women’s and men’s programs.

“Behaviour in the ethical grey area is completely unacceptable to Canadians and completely unacceptable to Canada Soccer and to me personally as the leader of the organization,” he said.

“(This) is painful right now but is turning out to be a necessary part of the rehabilitation process. Competing within the rules is a fundamental expectation held by Canadians and that standard has not been met here.”

The question now is how far does this cheating date back and who knew about it. Even the women’s gold medal at Tokyo is now at risk if this trickery can be traced back three years.

“The (International Olympic Committee) will take a hard look at this,” former Canadian goal-keeper Craig Forrest tweeted.
