A curling match between Sweden and Canada at the Olympics was shaken by a cheating scandal, with dramatic scenes unfolding as Marc Kennedy was accused of adjusting his stones' direction using his finger. To illustrate the potential effect, SVT Sport recorded a clip where Swedish national team player Oskar Eriksson, who was at the center of the dispute with the Canadian team during the Olympics, released a stone and then tapped it. The clip has also been noticed in Canada.
Canadian star Brad Jacobs, who is the skip in Marc Kennedy's team, criticized the video, saying he thinks it is embarrassing that this is still an issue and that they put together a video like that. Jacobs added that it is clearly something he is not happy about right now and that he has nothing good to say about Oskar Eriksson, the whole team, or the Swedish Curling Association at the moment, so he will not say anything at all.
