Yet another delightful rider..... not..... when will this end?

At least they give some details. It must be such a strange read for a layperson, like she was caught whipping a horse and everyone delighted to have her back.

Can you imagine if it was that Olympic gymnastics coach who was outed as a sexual abuser? The Dutch volleyball rapist was booed at least, but hey the Guardian did do an article where he got to say how sorry he was 🙃 Maybe it's not that odd after all 🤢

The difference is that CDJ was never convicted of a crime, or even taken to court over it. While it breached the FEI guidelines it didn't meet the threshold for criminal charges. It is a lot easier to come back from that, than an actual criminal charge and a lot of people will see it differently.

I'm not saying people should treat her the same as a child rapist. The problem I have is that people aren't treating her like a horse abuser, which she is.
 
My view is that she is back for good and will probably be select to the next Olympics.

Nobody can change that but i strongly believe that if you do something bad, it catches up with you at some point.

I'ts her own conscience after all, she has to live with it.

I wish her nothing bad at all but in life, sometimes, things come back at you.

I have to agree. So many people are all "welcome back Charlotte". I was so very disappointed in her when I watched "that" video. IMO its very difficult to ensure someone has changed and will never do something like that again, as they felt it was acceptable in the first place which most of us wouldnt (Id hope). Once an abuser, always an abuser IMO and I firmly believe anyone caught doing things like this (no matter how "professional" or otherwise) should be banned from the sport forever. I do not want to see Charlotte, or this man compete ever again. They lost their right when they took away the horses basic right of not being hurt/abused.

Except the video of the whipping will be one of the last nails in the coffin of equestrianism at the Olympics.
