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.

    I trust whatever committee they have at the Olympics to make the judgement on this, but if our team is cheating, fuck those guys.

    Yes, there’s some redactionist arguments about how it “doesn’t actually impact the rock,” but fuck that. We have a codified rule that specifically says you can’t do it, and these athletes are playing at literally the highest level that exists. They know better and have had time to practice better. If they’re cheating at the Olympics, I hope it follows them forever.

      I automatically expect the Olympic Committee to be crooked.

      Also, as ashamed as I am about the Canadian team breaking the rules, I also feel bad that there’s a part of me that thinks, “at least it’s just friggin’ curling.”

      Everyone’s breaking the rules. If you think athletes are jot on something or have taken something to get there. I have a bridge to sell you.
