Top Eventers Give Positive Drug Tests
DOPING stories about riders rather than horses are rare in equestrian sport, but a case involving top eventers and drugs with medical and recreational uses broke over Christmas.

US riders Hannah Sue Burnett, Jennie Brannigan and Alyssa Phillips were tested at the Ocala Jockey Club International in Florida (16-20 November), where Hannah Sue won the CIC3*. All three tested positive for amphetamine, Jennie also for stimulants methylphenidate and ritalinic acid and Alyssa for canrenone, a prohibited substance in the diuretics and masking agents category.
