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.
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.
