NextImg:Federal government will withhold some of Soccer Canada's funding due to Olympic spy scandal

Now, the federal government is taking kicks at Canada Soccer for its drone spying scandal.

Carla Qualtrough, the minister of sport, announced Sunday the government will withhold funding related to suspended women’s national team head coach Bev Priestman and staff members Joey Lombardi and Jasmine Mander for the one-year duration of their FIFA ban.

“Using a drone to surveil another team during a closed practice is cheating,” Qualtrough said in a statement. “It is completely unfair to Canadian players and to opposing teams. It undermines the integrity of the game itself.”
