I can't believe that they thought they could away with it. Everythings so strict now. I would feel very embarrassed if my horse was tested and showed up positive.

lou23 IMO this was a deliberate doping....don't think the riders, grooms or trainers had anything to do with it.

Totally agree - 4 horses all the same drug, takes out 2 teams (Germany and Brazil) who you would have *thought*, in advance, were some of the most serious contenders. Strips Norway of their Bronze, and takes out Denis Lynch - a serious contender for the individual now out.... All seems to be very suspect to me! I can't quite believe it
Awful for the sport
