Ryan Bridge: Olympic spying - Send the entire Canadian team home

Drone gate. 

It's all anyone is talking about at the Olympics. 

We've just lost to the Canadians by the way, 2 - 1 in the women's football. 

Imagine being that assistant coach and the analyst who were caught, who were busted. 

You know, you go to the Olympics, it's one of your proudest moments. Your family is behind you, your kids are cheering you on. 

Then imagine the shame of flying home before the games have even begun. 

I could think of nothing worse. You're coming home basically a spy, you've broken the rules. 

Imagine that plane ride and imagine facing your family and facing your country when you go home, the shame of it. 

And why? Apparently they're way better than us anyway. 

They're the reigning champs and they've just beaten us 2-1 over in Paris. 

The head coach Beverly Priestman is staying on, she sat out the match this morning. But I don't know, if you dope, you get disqualified, don't you? 

Isn't spying, isn't cheating the same? 

And you can't tell me the coach didn't know. If the assistant coach is involved, surely the head coach would know. 

And if the head coach knows, surely the players would know. 

Did they see the footage? 

You can't unsee the footage, can you? 

I know I might be biased because I'm a Kiwi, but I say send them all home. 

Send the entire Canadian team home packing.
