New Zealand’s Olympic team has lodged a complaint with the IOC after discovering a drone belonging to soccer rivals Canada seemingly spying on their training session. Staff from New Zealand’s women’s football team — the Football Ferns — noticed a drone flying above their training session in St Etienne on Monday. Reporting it to police, the operator was identified as a supporting staff member of Canada’s women’s team. The person was detained by French police.

“The NZOC has formally lodged the incident with the IOC integrity unit and has asked Canada for a full review,” the statement read. “The NZOC and New Zealand Football are committed to upholding the integrity and fairness of the Olympic Games.” In their own statement, Team Canada apologised and said they’d opened their own investigation into a “non-accredited member of the Canada Soccer support team”.
