Sweden knew Canada’s Marc Kennedy was a notorious cheater.

So they set up a camera at the ‘hog line’ to record it.

And caught him doing it at the Olympics.

    Yeah, best case is our team is made up of at least some members who never trained away bad habits that technically break the rules, like sloppy amateurs are the best Canada has to send.

    Worst case, they were doing it for the exact reason it’s against the rules, which means either Canada deliberately sent cheaters or selected the olympic team in a way that didn’t catch cheating, resulting in this cheater getting caught in front of the world.

    The whole “you’re not supposed to look and just trust your opponent in curling” response tells me that he at least was unrepentingly aware he was doing it and that it was against the rules, so it’s just a question if he was doing it strategically, lazily, or stubbornly.

    None of the options look good, just kick him off the team already and probably withdraw from the competition unless it can be proven that the cheating didn’t get the others to where they are.
