Changing Of The Guard

THE British quartet heading out to Sweden this year will arrive with the weight of history on their shoulders. Great Britain have never been beaten in Paralympic dressage and they proved the doubters wrong in Rio to top the podium once more, with a huge lead.

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.
