PARIS—Canada’s appeal against their soccer team’s points deduction at the Paris Olympics amid a drone scandal was dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, CAS said on Wednesday.
Defending champions Canada were docked six points, while coach Bev Priestman and officials Joseph Lombardi and Jasmine Mander were banned from any soccer-related activity for one year by FIFA after New Zealand complained that Canadian staff flew drones over their training sessions before their opening match.
