CanWNT Talk: 'Dronegate' a black eye for Olympic champs

Controversy has enveloped the Canadian women's team on the eve of its opening match vs. New Zealand at the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

Earlier this week, a drone was flown over New Zealand's practice in Saint-Étienne, France. New Zealand team staff reported the drone to the police, and New Zealand’s Olympic Committee filed a complaint. 

On Wednesday, the Canadian Olympic Committee revealed that another drone flew over New Zealand's training session last week.  

In response, Canada coach Bev Priestman said she would not be overseeing Thursday's match against New Zealand. Also, assistant coach Jasmine Mander and "unaccredited analyst" Joseph Lombardi were immediately sent home for their involvement. And there might be sanctions on the way for Canada from the IOC and FIFA.
