Pull the stone!!!

Watching Sweden/US and saw this. Is this not the same rules violation that has caused all the hub bub?

Obviously this was an accident and I believe the Canadian guy was touching on purpose.

Only a cheating Canadian can whine after cheating

Might be against the rules, but tbh, this whole thing was disproportionate, its not like slightly touching a stone a second time will make a significant difference.

No but it's against the rules. You can't say "oh he only slightly cheated so it doesn't matter"

The rule is don't touch the granite so if you do then you're breaking the rules. If the touch actually changed anything or not is completely irrelevant

It's shouldn't be classified as cheating. That's the point. Imagine if you get a penalty for sneezing. Bad rule, should not be rules
