terpfan68 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 In today's (September 14, 2007)Winnipeg Free Press in an article on cheating in sports by Randy Turner calles "Spyin' and lyin' in sports" along with the half a million dollar fine to Bill Belichick of the Patriots and the 100 million dollar fine to Formula One Racing's McLaren is the following: "Yet another homage to The Spy Who Screwed Me comes from the women's World Cup of Soccer, where Denmark team officials found two men with video cameras sitting behind a two-way mirror in the hotel conference room where the Danes were about to discuss team strategy for an upcoming game with host China." Has anyone else heard about this? If true would fifa take any action? Would that action be taking the win away from China? Would they have the guts to do that? Fifa can be heavy handed sometimes, but this is CHINA and they don't want to upset a market as big as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terpfan68 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks. It looks like fifa has managed to turn this issue into a non-story, but I'd bet that the other teams are going to be looking over their shoulder from now on.

N-A Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 From what I heard on the BBC. The Denmark coach is banned for the next four games. Two which will be suspended. This is for unsportsmanship conduct for not shaking the hand of the China coach after the Denmark - China match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
