Olympic curling match descends into chaos after cheating allegations prompt profane insult

Tempers flared at an [Olympic curling match](https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/olympics) between Canada and Sweden Friday with a profane insult being hurled after allegations of cheating were made.  Canada beat Sweden 8-6, and [Canadian third](https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/canada) Marc Kennedy and Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson got into it after Eriksson accused Kennedy of an illegal procedure called double-touching stones after releasing them at the hog line. Kennedy shouted, "I haven’t done it once. You can f- off," at Eriksson.

I’ll show you a video where it’s two meters over the hog line." [Both sides appealed](https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/judiciary/appeals) to the officials, but no results were changed. Swedish team leader Fredrik Lindberg said in a statement, "At this point, the [Swedish Olympic Committee](https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/sweden) will not seek an investigation regarding the events during Friday’s game," according to The National Review.  [**POWER OUTAGE HALTS MILAN CORTINA OLYMPICS CURLING COMPETITION MOMENTS AFTER MATCHES BEGIN**](https://www.foxnews.com/sports/power-outage-halts-milan-cortina-olympics-curling-competition-moments-after-matches-begin) Kennedy responded to the allegations after the match. "I have a ton of respect for Oskar Eriksson," he said. "He’s one of the best players to ever play. I just told him … I would never accuse you of cheating. I’ve been on tour for 25 years. He pulled a hog line official on us to make sure we weren’t double-touching. The hog line official was there for six ends, never said a thing and he’s still talking about it in the ninth end. "I don’t like being accused of cheating, so I told him what I thought of it." According to World Curling policy, a moving stone cannot be touched beyond the hog line, but it is not a violation if a thrower double-touches the rock before the line. _**Follow Fox News Digital’s**_ [_**sports coverage on X**_](https://twitter.com/FoxNewsSports_)_**, and subscribe to**_ [_**the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.**_](https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters)
