Espionage in sports!

Well, spying is part of espionage.

Apparently, the Chinese have been spying on Danish women's soccer team. It might have just been to mindfuck the Danes, but the Danes did lose the match. Police are investigating.

And McLaren have been spying on Ferrari in the Formula One motorsports realm. It cost McLaren the Constructor's Cup and $100,000,000 fine! What an amazing sum of money, I wonder who gets it?

Huh. Admittedly, people are supposed to compete fairly, but I suspect this is a case of someone getting caught doing something people do, and suffering for it, than some out-of-the-blue decision. Ah, well.
