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.

A little finger poke ain't gonna do shit.

And yet they risked getting caught breaking one of the major rules to do it. Why take that risk if doing it had no effect?

    Check out the article I shared - many high-level curlers don't consider it an infraction at all, let alone a major one. Even Oskar Eriksson, who made the original accusation, doesn't seem to think it's exclusive to Team Canada:

    For us, it’s been a problem the last couple of years, so we think it’s good that everyone can play with the same rules. Hopefully it’s just getting better from this.”

    It's a dumb thing to do, though, and I'd be happy if people cleaned up their acts across the board.
