The match came to a brief standstill as fingers were pointed and Kennedy argued with members of the Swedish team across the ice.<\/p>\n<p>The World Curling Committee said in a Saturday statement that they spoke with the Canadian officials to issue a verbal warning regarding the language used by a Canadian men&#8217;s player during the game. During the meeting, officials said they made it clear that inappropriate language would be met with additional sanctions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The governing body added that starting from Saturday&#8217;s afternoon session &#8211; which sees both Canada and Sweden in action &#8211; two officials will move to observing deliveries across the four matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 44-year-old Kennedy said after the altercation, &#8220;I don&#8217;t like being accused of cheating after 25 years on tour and four Olympic Games.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So,&#8221; he added, &#8220;I told him where to stick it. Because we&#8217;re the wrong team to do that to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eriksson said he simply wanted everyone to &#8220;play by the same rules.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want a game that is as sportsmanlike, honest and clean as possible,&#8221; he said, &#8220;so we call it out as soon as I see that the Canadian No. 2 is, in my eyes, there poking the stone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/14\/5c14b1b3-cad5-49ed-b72a-cf8a8be257d3\/thumbnail\/620x413\/f07d1795c7280f206a7fedea30a37815\/ap26044664479485.jpg#\" alt=\"APTOPIX Milan Cortina Olympics Curling \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/14\/5c14b1b3-cad5-49ed-b72a-cf8a8be257d3\/thumbnail\/620x413\/f07d1795c7280f206a7fedea30a37815\/ap26044664479485.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/14\/5c14b1b3-cad5-49ed-b72a-cf8a8be257d3\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/662f62344b5f4efbfcb5e4544acda122\/ap26044664479485.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Canada&#8217;s Marc Kennedy in action during the men&#8217;s curling round robin session against Sweden, at the 2026 Winter Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Misper Apawu \/ AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The rules state that a stone must be delivered using the handle that sits on top of the rock and that it must be released from the hand before it reaches the hog line.
