    The governing body of soccer says it needs more time to look into complaints by the Canadian women's team following its semifinal loss to the United States at the London Olympics.

    FIFA says its disciplinary panel has to wait for Canada to play its bronze medal match on Thursday against France.

    The ref's should be investigated, not the Canadian soccer team.

    Canada also got worked in the Castio Clayton fight, where point deductions should've been made but weren't and the review board dismissed the challenge outright with basically no review.

    Ultimately only the losers themselves suffer but it is hard to watch sometimes when you know how much these athletes put into it.

    The losers suffer, the sport suffers, the integrity of the Olympics suffer, the fans, the country of the athletes robbed of victory...I could go on, these are two of many blatant acts of cheating by judges/refs/officials...they should be investigated and those involved should be heavily penalized.
