FIFA has added to the penalties against the Canada women's soccer team for using drones to record opponents' practices.
The organization docked six points from the team in the Paris Olympics women's soccer tournament, which is the equivalent of two wins. Coach Bev Priestman was also banned from world competition for one year, reports the Associated Press.
FIFA also fined Canada’s FA 200,000 Swiss francs while banning coaches: “The officials were each found responsible for offensive behaviour and violation of the principles of fair play in connection with the CSA’s Women’s representative team’s drones usage”

Priestman had already been suspended by Canada Soccer and sent home from the Paris Games.
