These athletes make a pledge not to cheat at the penalty of a lifetime ban. It is extremely apparent from the reporting that the players knew full well that illegal - not just unethical - drone footage was being used for a competitive advantage. One or more of them should have spoken up.

Hard to look up to or cheer for a nation of cheaters.
Why would you take away something from 4 years ago as a result of something happened today? That is a bizarre take to me. Soft penalty - they have basically ended their olympics and there’s zero evidence the players knew or benefited from it - despite your implication otherwise. One game and banning the coaches was the right answer. Two is the over reach.
