After 2 hours of studying videos and the rules of curling, I’m something of a curling expert myself.
So did they really cheat? I heard you can touch it all the way to the green line and it’s fine?

There is no intent.
A violation or fault in the delivery only.

I agree that in most sports, including curling, breaking a rule in the moment is not automatically cheating. The unethical part is denying it after you know you did it. Once the player knows they touched it, sees the replay, and still says, “No, I didn’t,” it’s no longer just a
Dang, now I’m invested too! Who knew this sport could be so dramatic 
I’m ready for the show now.
