Canada Appeal to CAS Over Olympic Football Points Deduction

News 18  

Canada appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Monday over the decision to dock them six points in the on-going women’s Paris Olympic football over a spying scandal. The Swiss-based CAS said that Canada Soccer and the Canadian Olympic Committee had filed an appeal against the punishment handed down by football’s world governing body FIFA at the weekend. Reigning Olympic champions Canada were docked six points and fined 200,000 Swiss francs by FIFA after a staff member used a drone to spy on a rival team’s training session last week. Canada’s women have won both of their matches so far at the Paris Games, against New Zealand and France, but the penalty means they have zero points with only one Group A game remaining.
