It subsequently came to light that perhaps not the first time they had been doing this so FIFA are here they are part of the IOC are part of the Olympic family they have a disciplinary committee which fast
tracks at the Olympics to their appeals committee and they have really come down on Canada Soccer
The sanctions they have placed on them first of all for the women's soccer team a deduction of six points from group A.
They've been fined 200,000 Swiss Franks but perhaps the biggest suspension sanction of the lot is for Beverly priestman the manager of side her officials Joseph Lombardi and Jasmine Mander each have been suspended from taking part in any football related activity for a period of one year that is probably the standout sanction of three.
A six-point deduction for Canada Soccer would render any progress in the tournament very difficult indeed but for Bev priestman the English born Canadian manager from County Durham along with two of her colleagues from Canada Soccer they have been suspended from all football activity for the period of one year and in just in terms to give you an idea of what they've been found guilty of, responsible of offensive behavior and violations of the principles fair play in connection with Canada soccer's women's teams their representatives and the usage of drones.
They do have one further right of appeal it is fast tracked in Paris during the Olympics they've got 10 days to get their cases together and if they want to go the court of arbitration the sport they can, but FIFA today coming down heavily on Canada Soccer and on their manager Bev priestman
