The removal of the dressage coefficient and changes to the fl ag rule are also among proposals put forward for 2018
NEW competition levels, removal of the dressage coefficient and changes to the flag rule are among the major proposals for the 2018 FEI eventing rulebook.
The FEI is planning to introduce “five-star” levels and, at the other end of the scale, a 1.05m “one-star” with other classes shifting up a star rating (see box).
“The eventing committee is proposing for 2018 a review of the structure of the competitions to adapt to the current global level of the sport and better support the implementation of the Olympic strategy,” said an FEI statement.
“This is part of the continued effort to address risk management and the cost-effectiveness of the discipline together with encouraging the development of the number of nations participating in eventing.”
It says the 1.05m level would not be compulsory to qualify for higher levels, but would give a “transition” between national and international competitions in developing eventing nations. It could also be used for pony championships and be “the basis” for a children’s level or category.
The CIC5* will be the level at which Nations Cups and a new World Cup series could run.
CCI5* will apply to Olympics and World Equestrian Games.

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.
