Los Angeles – Olympic gold medallist Ryan Fry was among a group of four curlers thrown out of a tournament in Canada for “extreme drunkennes­s”, reports said this week.

Fry, who won gold for Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, was tossed out of the Red Deer Curling Classic along with Jamie Koe, DJ Kidby and Chris Schille for “unsportsma­nlike behaviour,” several reports said.

“They went out to curl and they were extremely drunk and breaking brooms and swearing. It was unacceptab­le behaviour that nobody wants to watch or hear and it was just ‘enough was enough,’” Wade Thurber, the venue manager, told the Canadian Broadcasti­ng Corporatio­n.

“There was some damage in the locker room and other teams complainin­g about their stuff being kicked around,” Thurber added. –
