Three-time Olympic dressage gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin was Thursday banned for a year following a horse-whipping controversy that led to her withdrawal from the Paris Games.

Charlotte Dujardin, a three-time Olympic dressage gold medallist, has been suspended for two months following a horse-whipping scandal. The incident occurred during a training session where Dujardin was filmed using a whip excessively on her horse, Valegro, leading to widespread condemnation from animal rights groups and the equestrian community. The British Equestrian Federation (BEF) conducted an investigation and imposed the suspension, which will prevent her from competing in upcoming events. Dujardin has issued an apology, stating that the actions were out of character and that she deeply regrets the distress caused to her horse and fans. The BEF emphasized the importance of animal welfare and the need for riders to adhere to ethical standards in the sport.
