Clearer Doping and Medication rules from the FEI?
Posted by admin | Filed under Equestrian News, Featured
The biggest ever shake up of horse sport has been unveiled by the FEI.
An independent review of anti-doping and testing procedures as well as vastly increased stable security at competition venues are key points being looked at in a series of recommendations to combat doping in horse sport.
The recommendations were announced by Lord Stevens, the former chief of the Metropoliton Police, who was appointed by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) in May to investigate doping practices in equestrian sport.
Lord Steven's appointment followed the six positive dope test at last year's Olympics and the sacking of the entire German equestrian team.
The FEI are hoping the recommendations will stamp out doping and protect riders and their horses.
