Olympic champion curler’s team kicked out of event for being ‘extremely drunk’

A Canadian team was ejected from a World Curling Tour event Sunday for showing up to curl “extremely drunk,” breaking brooms and swearing, an official reportedly said.

The team skipped by Jamie Koe with Ryan Fry, Chris Schille and DJ Kidby was kicked out of the Red Deer Curling Classic in Alberta for unsportsmanlike conduct, forfeiting their last match, according to the World Curling Federation.

“They went out to curl and they were extremely drunk and breaking brooms and swearing and just unacceptable behavior that nobody wants to watch or hear or listen to, and it was just ‘enough was enough,'” facility manager Wade Thurber said, according to CBC.
