Canada send two staff members home over drone incident


British coach Beverly Priestman is manager of Canada's women's team, who won gold in Tokyo in 2021

Canada women's football manager Beverly Priestman will not take charge of her side's Olympics opener against New Zealand after two members of her backroom staff were sent home for allegedly flying a drone over the Kiwis' team training session.

Priestman, 38, has "voluntarily withdrawn" from Thursday's match in St Etienne after the New Zealand Olympic Committee reported that a drone had been flown over their training session on Monday.

Jasmine Mander, Priestman's assistant, has been sent home along with "unaccredited analyst" Joseph Lombardi.

The Canadian Olympic Committee say a scouting report filed by Lombardi was sent to Mander.

Priestman says she takes responsibility for the actions of her colleagues.

"I first and foremost want to apologise to the players and staff at New Zealand Football and to the players on Team Canada. This does not represent the values that our team stands for,” Priestman said.

“I am ultimately responsible for conduct in our program."

The COC confirmed on Wednesday that a "non-accredited member of the Canada Soccer support team" was detained by authorities.

"The Canadian Olympic Committee stands for fair play and we are shocked and disappointed," it added in a statement., external

"We offer our heartfelt apologies to New Zealand Football, to all the players affected, and to the New Zealand Olympic Committee."

The NZOC said it has "formally lodged the incident with the IOC integrity unit and has asked Canada for a full review".

"The NZOC and New Zealand Football are committed to upholding the integrity and fairness of the Olympic Games and are deeply shocked and disappointed by this incident."

INCREDIBLE...the lengths some would go to win. What I don't understand is how one can relish victory that's not earned. Apparently, the coach has now been fired by Canada, or has stepped down.

This has happened before. Remember when Bielsa was Leeds manager and sent spies to watch a rival team's training session?

[Kabalega]

This has happened before. Remember when Bielsa was Leeds manager and sent spies to watch a rival team's training session?

It has been happening for decades. How do you think nations like Germany dominate the WC? Details.
The Germans built a football base from scratch in Brazil 2014 to avoid spying opponents.

Materazzi did a number on Zidane because the Italians dug up dirt on him and of course spied on other opponents too.

Egypt's dominating CAF teams required sleuthing on their part. Nigeria does it too.
Countries like Uganda don't because they don't have the experience and funds for it.

I posted about this years ago on CE and people reacted weirdly.

The Canadians were simply inept and unfortunate to get caught.

Now FIFA's reaction is a bit heavy-handed... https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/arti ... dg0gqk4kqo

[ohsee]

Can anyone explain to me why this is wrong? I file it under scouting your opponents. Do some teams not allow spectators to watch them train? I don't get the problem.

Teams often have private training sessions because they do not want others/the opposition to see their sensitive tactical plans. Sending your scouts to watch the opposition playing a match is legitimate scouting and is allowed. Surreptitiously sending a drone to fly over your opponent's closed door training session without their consent or knowledge is not allowed.

e.g. The FA fined Leeds United £200,000 for sending one of its personnel to spy on one of Derby County's training sessions.

Futcha da baseball bitcha, I asked you when it became illegal to "spy" and you give me a link to gridiron football? I blame Ebonics schooling. If you had attended my secondary school, the teacher would have asked the whole class to give you one doty slap for that Ebonical reply.

I will say it again in simple English so an Ebonics speaker like you can understand : what rule was violated, and when did it come into force? I have been reading all the stories about this "scandal", and none has given me this information.

[ohsee]

Futcha da baseball bitcha, I've done your research for you. This is just for the EFL. I am still not sure whether there is an international rule against this.

Leeds fined £200,000 for ‘spygate’ affair as EFL make new law to prevent further incidents

A new law has been created whereby teams are now barred from viewing their opponent's training within 72 hours of a fixture
Tom Kershaw
Monday 18 February 2019 20:02 GMT

Leeds have been fined £200,000 and received a formal reprimand for breaching “good faith” by the EFL for the ‘spygate’ incident where a club employee, acting on behalf of Marcelo Bielsa, was caught acting suspiciously on the perimeter of Derby’s training ground.

Police were called before the man was later revealed as a Leeds club employee. Bielsa took full responsibility for the incident and admitted he had sent someone to spy on every opponent he has faced thus far this season, while Derby boss Frank Lampard claimed he would rather not coach than use such tactics.

The drawn-out saga became the subject of contentious debate with the likes of Mauricio Pochettino defending Bielsa’s actions, while the Leeds manager hosted a 70-minute press conference, where he illustrated the depths of research he goes to on every team and dismissed the impact spying on Derby would have had.

Futcha da big fat bitcha, why did you not just point out the relevant law or regulation? I bet you did not read it yourself, and you were just hoping ohsee would point it out for you and not call you out on your failure to read it. Oya, copy and paste the relevant rule or law that says that you cannot "spy" on your opponents before a game. Chai! Ebonics education no good oh.

Canada is being made an example of by Fifa. I feel once the training session was dubbed 'behind closed doors' there should not have been a drone flown over it. Seems it one of those things some teams do, but someone threw up a storm this time. The girls have won their first two games beating France and New Zealand so now at 0 points. Another 3 points and they may atleast get a best third place slot.

[King Futcha]

they are not being made example of, they are cheaters, you don't just start spying on a lowly team like new zealand, this is something that has been going on for a while and shall come to light.
