In September 2015 Werner Muff jumped to the national show jumping title of Switzerland. Now the Swiss show jumper has to give in his title as some urine tests of his championshorse, Pollendr have tested positive for Tramadol, often used as a painkiller. The Swiss court of the Federation and COSAN have disqualified Muff and added a fine of 1,000 Swiss franks. Muff has filed an appeal. In his argumentation it states there was such a small amount of Tramadol to be traced, the quantity could never have been given by purpose, rather by accident. The settlement is now Muff has 'only' to hand in his Championshipstitle. Edwin Smits and Dandiego BZ (by Dutch Capitol) are now announced Swiss Champion. Steve Guerdat and Paul Estermann claim the silver and bronze.
