Disqualification of a nation’s entire team if only one horse is found to have been doped in Olympics, world championships and even Nations Cups is among proposals that will be put to member countries of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) after a review of anti-doping rules.
A suggestion to extend the enforcement of doping rules came out of the FEI Sports Forum that was held this month, online because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Among other proposals from the review of the list of 1,244 prohibited substances included penalties for dealing with “street drugs” such as cocaine in athletes and rationalizing penalties for doping violations.Source: dressagenews
