1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: Either duple clen.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 2: Now it turns out the Canadian football team didn't just

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: spy on the football ferns once, they actually flew a

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 2: drone over the New Zealand training on two occasions. The

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: Canadians have responded by sending home the person who was

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: flying the drone and also the assistant coach. Here's David Shoemaker,

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: the CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee. There's no room

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: for that in Team Canada. It doesn't conform to our

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: standards of fair play and our values at the Canadian

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: Olympic Committee. The two teams are going to play each

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: other tomorrow morning. Sarah Levitt is a reporter with the

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and is in Paris. Hey Sarah, Hello, Hey,

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: how have Canadians responded to this? Oh?

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: Deep shame? I would say the overall response to this

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: has been just how is it that the first Olympic

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: scandal of these Paris Games involves Canadians. Lots of people

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: worried and wondering why this even happened in the first place.

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 2: Well, because our team is quite sucky.

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I would just say, when we look at the FIFA standings,

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 1: Canada placed eighth. They're the reigning gold medalists. And yes,

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: I assume the idea is that New Zealand, you know,

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: is ranked twenty eight, so it's kind of a why

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: would you worry about this?

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: Well, Sarah, the obvious answer is because the Canadian football

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: cheat football team. I just cheats, right, and it won't

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: be the first time they've done it.

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about that. What they have said

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: is that this is isolated to two people, as you said,

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: two people sent home, one of them saying that they

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: didn't know this was happening. And that's so far what

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: we know right that in fact police in turn like

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: got the guy and then took the drone from him,

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: and so that the coaches of the staff never actually

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: ever got access to the video. So hopefully that tampers

35
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: any idea of cheating. But yes, it's quite the scandal

36
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: here in Canada, and I'm sure in New Zealand as well.

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: New Zealand has officially asked that the punishment meted out

38
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 2: to Canada is that Canada for fits all points even

39
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: if they win all draw Do you think that's fair.

40
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: Whether I think it's fair or not, I think what

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: happens now is up to the International Olympic Committee. They're

42
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: looking into it. What they have said is that they're

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: really happy with how Canada's Olympic Committee has dealt with this,

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: with the swift sanctions, and whether or not we're going

45
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: to see points given today. In fact, the game is

46
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: going to play, I guess in your time it'll be

47
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: a little bit during the night, but well, we'll have

48
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: to see. The IOC, though, seems very happy with how

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: this was handled internally, so I don't suspect that we'll

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: see anything coming.

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,800
