A group of leading dressage riders condemn Charlotte Dujardin including her long time Team GB colleague Carl Hester.
A group of leading dressage riders have condemned the actions of Charlotte Dujardin - with signatories including her long-time Team GB colleague Carl Hester.
"The IDRC Board supports the actions taken by the FEI, the British Equestrian Federation and British Dressage to provisionally suspend Ms Dujardin." The three-time Olympic gold medallist said she was "deeply ashamed" and that her actions were "completely out of character". Two of her sponsors, equestrian insurance company KBIS and Danish equestrian equipment company Equine LTS, have terminated their deals with her.
"It is a very difficult error of judgement by her standards and by her own admission. We wish her well but we don't condone what has happened.FEI 'very confident' equestrian will stay on Olympic programme "So that is why we need to constantly educate our athletes and their entourage because what was allowed 30 years ago or accepted 30 years ago is probably not any more today."
