A sports arbitration court on Wednesday dismissed Canada's appeal of a six-point penalty against its Olympic women's soccer team in the wake of a drone spying scandal. The Court of Arbitration for Sport said its panel of three arbitrators rejected the appeal by Canadian Olympic Committee and Canada Soccer following a closed-door hearing on Tuesday. The COC and Canada Soccer issued a joint statement thanking the court for its quick work. Canada Soccer was also fined more than $300,000 and three team members — including head coach Bev Priestman — were suspended for one year. Fin du widget Widget.
