Britain's three-time gold medalist Charlotte Dujardin said she was 'deeply ashamed' after the emergence of the clip.
after a video emerged that showed her “engaging in conduct contrary to the principles of horse welfare,” according to the sport’s governing body.Tuesday that the video from four years ago “shows me making an error of judgment during a coaching session.” It wasn’t clear what video Dujardin referred to or what specifically the video shows.
“I am sincerely sorry for my actions and devastated that I have let everyone down, including Team GB, fans and sponsors.”The International Federation for Equestrian Sports, or FEI, said in a statement that it is investigating, and that Dujardin has been provisionally suspended from all events under the body’s jurisdiction, pending results of the probe. The British Equestrian Federation also has made Dujardin ineligible for national events.
“The FEI condemns any conduct contrary to the welfare of horses and has robust rules in place to address such behavior,” the governing body said. “Our commitment to ensuring the highest standards of equine welfare and sportsmanship remains unwavering.” The 39-year-old Dujardin won gold at the 2012 London Olympics in team and individual dressage and won another individual gold at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games. She took bronze in team and individual at the Tokyo Games in 2021 and a silver in the team event in Rio. Her six medals are tied for the most by a female British Olympian.By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
