Three-Time Olympic Champion Charlotte Dujardin Suspended for One Year, Fined £8,886 Over Horse Whipping
Dec 5, 2024, 10:04 AM
Charlotte Dujardin, a three-time Olympic dressage champion, has been suspended for one year by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports following a horse whipping controversy that led to her withdrawal from the Paris Games. The incident came to light when a video leaked days before the Olympics, showing Dujardin engaging in conduct contrary to the principles of horse welfare. She was also fined £8,886 for 'excessively' whipping a horse, as confirmed by multiple sources. This ban means she will be eligible to return to competition in July 2025.
