The FEI said Dujardin confirmed she was the individual in the video which was "filmed several years ago" and "requested to be provisionally suspended pending the outcome of the investigations". Although the ban remains provisional while the FEI investigates, Dujardin, who has six Olympic medals in total, has said she will "withdraw from all competition while this process takes place".
