Analyst Joseph Lombardi has reportedly been given a suspended eight-month prison sentence for using a drone to film the Football Ferns at training.

Lombardi and Canada’s assistant coach are being sent home after twice spying on the New Zealand team at the Olympic Games.

Canada’s head coach Bev Priestman has stood down from her role for the opening group game against the Football Ferns.

"In a statement to the CBC, a French prosecutor said a 43-year-old coach — who is not named in the statement but told police he was an analyst working for the women’s team — captured images of at least two practices. Police also obtained images from a July 20 practice at the Michon stadium in Saint-Etienne, in addition to the photos of players practicing on Monday, when he was arrested.
The man was charged with maintaining an unmanned aircraft over a prohibited area and accepted his suspended sentence in the presence of his lawyer. The COC offered him legal support and consular services through Global Affairs Canada, CEO and secretary general David Shoemaker said in a press conference Wednesday." (source)
