What initially seemed to be an isolated incident of drone espionage at the Paris Olympics has evolved into a wider spying scandal that risks staining Canada’s reputation in international soccer. It has now come to light that this week’s revelations may have just been the tip of the iceberg. Canada Soccer CEO Kevin Blue expressed concerns that this problem ran much deeper than initially assumed. Reports suggest Canadian staffers have relied heavily on drones and spying for years. Investigations by FIFA and Canada Soccer are underway, and the results will be made public. The players themselves have denied any involvement in unethical behavior.
