“Canada Olympic Soccer Team Caught Flying Spy Drone over Rivals’ Practice”

UPS: må man ikke engang snyde og se hvad modstanderen gør – hvem kunne dog “gætte” det ?

I hvert fald IKKE den canadiske olympiske ledelse 🙂

Two members of the Canadian Olympic team were dismissed and “sent home immediately” on Wednesday after they were caught using a drone to “record the New Zealand women’s football [soccer] team during practice.”

The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) said it was “shocked and disappointed” by the incident, which was a violation of Canada’s commitment to “fair play” during the Olympics.

The COC on Tuesday released a statement saying a “non-accredited member of the Canada Soccer support team” was detained by French police in the city of Saint-Etienne, located near Lyon. The staffer was accused of spying on the New Zealand women’s soccer team with a drone.

On Wednesday, COC said Joseph Lombardi, an “unaccredited analyst with Soccer Canada,” would be sent home along with assistant women’s soccer coach Jasmine Mander.

According to Canada’s National Post, Lombardi is an experienced 43-year-old technical coach who has been working in the system since 2009. He was a staffer at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and worked at six FIFA youth tournaments during the ten years before that.
