""Yes, I'm not even going there. I've never even known that to be a concern before. It's never ever come up in conversation.""
""And if somebody said to you, 'Hey, do you double-touch all the time?' I honestly, in that split second of a moment, I couldn't even tell you if I do or not,""
""They've come up with a plan to catch teams in the act," Kennedy said."
""with the intention of getting an advantage through cheating.""
Marc Kennedy denied deliberate cheating and suggested his team might have been targeted by a "premeditated" plan by Sweden. Video circulating online appeared to show Kennedy touching the granite stone after release, prompting accusations of a 'double-touch' violation during Canada's 8-6 round-robin win. Kennedy acknowledged he "probably could have handled it better" after an expletive-filled confrontation with Swedish curler Oskar Eriksson, but insisted he never acted "with the intention of getting an advantage through cheating." The episode intensified tensions between two top rival teams. World Curling issued a verbal warning; no formal cheating charges were filed.
