Feel really bad for the players, they didn’t even do anything. Wonder if they’ll even bother to show up for the rest of the tournament. 
 

I will also add for this type of situation with the drone spying, consequences should be given of course but this is too harsh.

Major WTF moment from Swimming Canada

 

I feel like her chance at gold in the 200IM later on in the meet is pretty much gone, why would you fatigue her for a small chance at a medal?

I don't think an extra 100 free will take that much out of her, anyway, since she dropped the 200 free she has a day off tomorrow

Even then I feel like Mcintosh needs to be sub 53 to even justify having her in the final.

Normally not, but with an athlete with as big of a schedule with her it all adds up. 
 

McIntosh isn’t even that big of an upgrade on MSH.
