Canada's women's soccer team went into the 2024 Olympics with their title as defending gold medalists on the line — but they now find themselves mired in allegations of cheating after a team analyst was caught flying a drone over a New Zealand training session.

Canada is certainly not the first soccer team to be caught spying on rivals' practices.

But why would they try it at such a highly scrutinized tournament?

And what could it mean for the future of the sport in Canada as allegations continue to emerge that this may be something Canada's national teams have been doing for years?

James Sharman, host of the podcast Footy Prime, breaks it all down.

This is the second episode in our two-part series on the past, present and future of the US-Israel ‘special relationship.’
