TORONTO — Canada's decision to deploy a drone to spy on a New Zealand training session at the Paris Olympics was"completely stupid," says FIFA vice-president Victor Montagliani.
The scandal cost Canada women's coach Bev Priestman her job, with assistant coach Jasmine Mander and analyst Joe Lombardi also leaving Canada Soccer. All three are serving one-year suspensions from FIFA. "We've all been into countries that will do anything they can, whether its fireworks the night before a match. Whatever they think that will get you three points. Because when it comes to football, a lot of countries think it's war. But for me personally I just thought it was the definition of stupidity."
