Episode description

Instead of focusing on defending their Olympic title, Canada’s women’s soccer team became embroiled in scandal at the Paris games. Before the opening ceremonies even took place, accusations were levied that people involved with the women’s team had been using a drone to spy on New Zealand’s practice. This has sent ripples through soccer Canada and the sport’s international governing body. Ryan Pyette, in France covering the games for Postmedia, joins host Dave Breakenridge to discuss the repercussions Canada has already faced, what impact the scandal could have on Canada soccer, and whether FIFA cracks down any further.
