Olympics LIVE: Cheating scandal blows up after bombshell email as Team GB hunt more golds | Other | Sport

Bev Priestman, the Canadian football coach at the centre of a spying scandal, has sensationally claimed that the men’s side have a ‘whole operation’ on it.

She also made the astonishing allegation that ‘all top 10 teams spy’ in a bombshell email that emerged after her team were caught flying a drone over an opposition training session, according to the Daily Mail.

It comes after Canada’s appeal against their six-point deduction and Priestman’s year-long ban was dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

In the email, which was reportedly sent in March, Priestman said: “I know there is a whole operation on the men’s side with regards to it.

“On Tuesday, in a meeting when discussing, I asked to propose a alternative solution as for scouting it can be the difference between winning and losing and all top 10 teams do it.”
