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.

    Cheating seems a bit harsh. It should have been a penalty, it’s a burned stone. This is like giving up a penalty shot in basketball or an offside in hockey, neither of which should get someone kicked out of the Olympics. The swearing is the actual issue, it’s unsportsmanlike and shameful.

      One instance should be a penalty.

      However, apparently this athlete is known to have done it repeatedly and got caught because the Swedish team prepared their own camera angle. Only one instance may have been caught, but it was caught because he already had a reputation for it.
