Chaplin Flies to Give Fuchs Five-star Win

MARTIN FUCHS and the classy stallion Chaplin — jumping in his first outdoor five-star grand prix — kick-started the 2017 Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) season with a sensational victory in Mexico City. The 25-year-old Swiss rider’s all-out round against the clock beat Belgium’s Niels Bruynseels (Gancia de Muze) by half a second, with Dutchman Maikel van der Vleuten filling the final podium spot on VDL Groep Arera C.

Ireland’s Bertram Allen and Hector Van D’Abdijoeve finished fifth as the fastest four faulters in this new-look two-round grand prix.

Rider Denies Doping After Team Loses Olympic Placing - Tine Magnus and the Belgian team said they do not know the source of the drug that caused the positive test

Olympic eventer Tine Magnus has denied ever doping after her Paris ride Dia Van Het Lichterveld Z gave a positive test at the Games. This means the Belgian team, which came fourth, has been disqualified. On 4 September, the FEI said the 10-year-old mare, owned by Kris van Vaerenbergh, tested positive for trazodone, which is listed as an antidepressant on the FEI's prohibited substances list.
