Accusations of cheating. Swear words being hurled across the ice. Counter-claims of a sting operation with illicit filming. In curling?!<\/p>\n

The drama started when Canada’s Marc Kennedy became involved in a heated verbal exchange with Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson towards the end of his side’s 8-6 win.<\/p>\n

The Swedes believed Kennedy was repeatedly double-touching some of his stones, an illegal move.<\/p>\n

But the cards were signed by both teams at the end, meaning the result would stand in a sport that is proudly self-governed by the players.<\/p>\n

And then video footage found its way into circulation post-match. Was it premeditated?<\/p>\n

The following day, Switzerland reported Kennedy for the same offence. World Curling then announced they would deploy extra officials for the remainder of the Games to check for double-touching.<\/p>\n

Canadian women’s skip Rachel Holman was pinged for a double-touch, as was Team GB’s Bobby Lammie – both incidents not deliberate and the case of a lingering figure falling on to the granite.<\/p>\n

World Curling changed its protocol again and teams could now request to have the stone delivery monitored if they had suspicions, and for a minimum of three ends.<\/p>\n

Still with us?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
