Sounds like FIFA BS to me.

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.

Unless my sarcasm detector is broken...was this post meant as an over-reaction?
We're talkin' 'bout Practice here. I dont know what mental Genius decided it was worth using a drone to film another team's practice...but its just practice.
Most of it is fitness and drills. There is no cloak and dagger secrecy being unveiled or anything, no one is 'getting behind the curtain.'
Its. Practice.
Like I said in the other thread, this is like watching someone at the Gym.
I mean...imagine if this was Flames Practice...people go to those all the time, they broadcast them in the media!
Where is the tragedy here? I must be missing some details.
And finally...watching your opponents practice? I dont see how thats cheating. You should just get tape of your opponent's last competive match which would be more useful and televised so its easy to get, but really?
Recording a practice? To me, unless I'm missing something, that is much ado about nothing. Much less 'cheating.'
