Sweden knew Canada’s Marc Kennedy was a notorious cheater.

So they set up a camera at the ‘hog line’ to record it.

And caught him doing it at the Olympics.

    this is a common strategy among cheaters in curling

    Very confidently stated, but I really don’t think it is.

    it is illegal to do for precisely that reason.

    It’s illegal because it’s way simpler to implement a “no touching” rule than to try to define game-changing and non game-changing touches in a way that would be enforceable.

    And again, I have absolutely no problem with the rule being enforced, even though I don’t think for a hot second that it impacted the game.
