Canada Soccer and the Canadian Olympic Committee have filed a joint appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over the six-point deduction handed down by FIFA for drone spying at the Olympic Games in Paris.
"The appeal is based on the disproportionality of the sanction, which we believe unfairly punishes the athletes for actions they had no part in and goes far beyond restoring fairness to the match against New Zealand," Canada Soccer said in a statement. Canada is on zero points in Group A of the women's Olympic soccer tournament having won both its games. Canada plays Colombia in its final game of group play on Wednesday night in Nice.
Canada could still advance to the quarterfinals in the 12-team tournament even with a loss in court and win on the field Wednesday. Two third-place teams in the three groups will go to the knockout stage. Canadian officials have said no player was involved in any alleged cheating, which they suspect has been a systemic problem potentially for years.The coach from England could yet appeal to CAS against her FIFA ban as an individual.
