Expletive-filled cheating row between Canada and Sweden Olympic curling teams goes viral
An expletive-filled exchange between theSweden andCanada curling teams has gone viral after the usually sedate sport was rocked by allegations of cheating during a match at theWinter Olympics.
Sweden had lodged a complaint alleging a member of the Canadian team had been ‘double-touching’ - subtly course-correcting a curling stone after it had already been released.

Kennedy was later given a warning for foul language, with Canada going on to win the game 8-6.
