Three-time Olympic champion Charlotte Dujardin has been banned from competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics due to misconduct during training. The International Equestrian Federation (FEI) has provisionally suspended her after a video surfaced showing her mistreating a horse. Dujardin, who has expressed deep remorse for her actions, has decided to withdraw from all competitions while the investigation is ongoing.
The incident, which occurred four years ago, has led to significant repercussions for Dujardin, who has won multiple Olympic medals and is considered a leading figure in dressage. The FEI's decision to impose an indefinite suspension means that Dujardin will miss the opportunity to compete in Paris, significantly impacting the British equestrian team’s chances for a medal.
