“Dressage should be banned from the Olympics” after video shows Charlotte Dujardin whipping a horse
Following the release of a controversial video, Olympic medalist Charlotte Dujardin has been banned from the 2024 Paris Olympics. The decision has raised questions and concerns among the public about the reasons for her ban and the content of the video. Here are all the details.
Charlotte Dujardin has been banned from the Paris Olympics after serious allegations of horse abuse. She faces a suspension after a video emerged of her repeatedly hitting a horse during a private coaching session several years ago.
Dujardin's decision to withdraw from the Games on Tuesday comes just before the FEI announced its provisional six-month suspension, according to The Guardian. The FEI confirmed that Dujardin is now banned from competing in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games or any other FEI-regulated event.
