Dujardin was provisionally suspended by equestrian’s governing body, the International Federation for Equestrian Sports, on 23 July when it launched an investigation into a video from four years ago showing her making what she described as “an error of judgement” during a coaching session.
The video showed Dujardin repeatedly hitting a student’s horse with a whip from the ground. Her behaviour provoked widespread condemnation. The complaint was made to the FEI by Dutch equine lawyer Stephan Wensing on behalf of an unnamed client.
Dujardin is now sidelined from all competition until July next year, with the suspension backdated to 23 July this year. The PA news agency understands that she will not appeal. In a statement, the FEI said: “The FEI has suspended British Dressage athlete Charlotte Dujardin for one year and imposed a fine of CHF 10,000 (£8,881), effectively concluding the disciplinary proceedings against her.
