Canada was deducted six points in the Olympic women’s soccer tournament and their head coach Bev Priestman was banned for a year, global governing body FIFA said on Saturday, following a drone spying scandal that has tainted their gold medal defence.
The Canadian Soccer Association, which said it was exploring how it could appeal the six-point deduction, was also fined 200,000 Swiss francs ($226,346) in a case that rocked the Paris Games.
