Canada's Winter Olympic curlers are openly called 'CHEATS' after Swedish newspapers set up their own VAR - and confronted the perpetrator after ANOTHER incident

Canada's Winter Olympic curlers have been explicitly branded as 'cheats' by a Swedish newspaper - who even sent a photographer to try and prove their case.

Aftonbladet, a Swedish outlet, sent a photographer to try and capture images of Canada double-touching - a banned act - in their match against Czechia on Monday.

It follows a controversial row in the sport after Sweden's Oskar Eriksson repeatedly accused opponent Canadian Marc Kennedy of cheating on Friday.

'I haven't done it once,' Kennedy shouted in a wild outburst that was captured on the SVT broadcast. 'You can f*** off.' Team GB have since been punished for a similar violation after curler Bobby Lammie grazed the stone with his finger after releasing.

On Monday night, Aftonbladet published images from their photographer Pontus Orre which appear to show Canada's captain Brad Jacobs touching the granite during forward motion.

Canada beat Czechia 8-2 - and Aftonbladet confronted Kennedy about the controversy afterwards.

Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

I'm sorry but it's hard to call them Olympic athletes.  This is more like shuffleboard on ice.
