Soccer Star Christine Sinclair Suspended Four Games
FIFA is handing Canadian women's soccer star Christine Sinclair a four-game suspension for ``displaying unsporting
behaviour'' at the London Olympics.
The Canadian captain from Burnaby, B.C., scored three goals in the dramatic 4-3 semifinal loss to the United States.
The eventual Olympic champions scored the winning goal in extra time while Canada would go on to take the bronze medal.
Sinclair, who was also fined an undisclosed amount, was quoted after the game as saying the team felt ``cheated.''
Her FIFA disciplinary case was heard today in Switzerland.
The Canadian Soccer Association has requested the reasons for judgment and will not comment until they are received and reviewed.
Sinclair was also the Canadian flag bearer at the Closing Ceremony of the London Games.
