1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Look on first blush that punishment that New Zealand is

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: asking for in relation to Canada's drone spying may seem

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: a little harsh, was actually not. I actually think this

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: is exactly what needs to happen. The Canadian football team

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: should be forced to forfeit any points that they earn

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: if they win the match against the football Ferns tomorrow morning,

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: which they probably will because they are the defending Olympic

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: champions in our team are ranked twenty eighth in the world.

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: But why I think this needs to happen is to

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: stop them, right or anyone else, but predominantly them from

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: doing this kind of thing again, because as I predicted yesterday,

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't a one off. Turns out they spied twice

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: with the drone the occasion that we've found out about,

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: and then also three days before. And let's be honest

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: about it, if they're prepared to do this to a

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: team that's ranked twenty eighth in the world, doesn't take

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: a massive leap of logic to assume they'd be prepared

18
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: to do it to a team ranked much higher, which

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: actually may pose an actual threat on the field to them.

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: So this is not actually really about punishing them for

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: spying on the football ferns. Although there is a tiny

22
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: element of justice there, it's really about getting them and

23
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: others to suffer sufficiently to cut out this kind of

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: nonsense because if you do not punish them properly, and

25
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: giving up points is punishing them properly. If you do

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: not do that, they will just keep doing it because

27
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: the incentive to do that, to do it remains now.

28
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: It's also actually in the best interests of the Olympics

29
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: and of FIFA to do this, to be seen to

30
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: be taking a hard line on cheats, because for the Olympics,

31
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: they've got a real problem convincing audiences nowadays that the

32
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: games are fair when not. Just look, the Russians are back.

33
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: They had an industrial doping effort being run out of

34
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: the state, but they're back. They're just rocked up under

35
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: a different flag. FIFA has got a massive problem convincing

36
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: anyone that they're not corrupt. Now, the Canadians have been

37
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: caught red handed here right The guy running the drone

38
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: has been given a suspended jail sentence by the French

39
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: justice system, So there is no question over whether they

40
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: were cheating. They were cheating the only question is whether

41
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: the Olympics and FIFA are going to punish them properly

42
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: for it. For more from Heather Duplicy Allen Drive, listen
