PETER Forsberg is backtracking on comments he made in a TV interview suggesting Sweden threw a group-stage game at the 2006 Turin Olympics to get an easier draw in the second round. The 0-3 loss to Slovakia meant Sweden, which went on to win the gold medal, faced Switzerland instead of Canada in the quarterfinals.
Forsberg told Swedish broadcaster SVT that he "saw no reason to win the game" against Slovakia.
Forsberg said his comments were taken out of context. He said no coach or player "talked about not doing their best in the match against Slovakia."
The former Colorado Avalanche player said he didn't mean to put Swedish ice hockey "in a bad light" and that he hadn't phrased himself properly.
