News summary

Charlotte Dujardin, a six-time Olympic medalist and joint-most decorated female Olympian from Britain, has been provisionally suspended for six months by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) after a video surfaced showing her allegedly whipping a horse during a training session. The video, reportedly submitted by a Dutch lawyer on behalf of an undisclosed complainant, prompted an investigation into Dujardin's conduct, which the FEI stated violated horse welfare principles. Following the video's emergence, Dujardin voluntarily withdrew from the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics, expressing deep regret for her 'error of judgement.' The FEI has emphasized its commitment to equine welfare and will continue its investigation into the incident. Dujardin, who was expected to compete on her horse Imhotep, acknowledged the footage and stated that it does not reflect her typical training methods. This controversy has halted her aspirations to become the most decorated Olympian in British history.
