Cheating allegations against Canada


Curling got heated with cheating allegations and audible curse words overshadowed a feisty match between two of the best men's teams.

Canada 's Marc Kennedy got offended when he was accused by Swedish rival Oskar Eriksson of "double-touching" — essentially, touching the rock again after initially releasing it down the sheet of ice — during Canada's 8-6 win on Friday.

Kennedy repeatedly used expletives to deny he broke any rules. The match came to a brief standstill as fingers were pointed and Kennedy argued with members of the Swedish team across the ice.
