Criticism after Marc Kennedy's fuck off row - almost ostracized

The Canadian men's curling team did not behave like gentlemen in the high-profile Olympic match against Sweden, where Marc Kennedy was accused of cheating, says Swedish Curling Association chairman Michael Marklund.

Marc Kennedy has received a verbal warning from the International Curling Federation for yelling "fuck off" twice at Sweden's Oskar Eriksson.

I think it's almost even worse that he points his finger at the stone and then denies it, says Michael Marklund.

He believes it is easy to cheat in curling because it is "a gentleman's sport," with a clear emphasis on brazenness.

There are times when you can do things, but you almost get ostracized, I would say.

Did the Canadians behave like gentlemen?

I don't think so, but maybe they were provoked by us in the heat of battle too.

Canada won the match 8-6.
