Shamed Olympic legend Charlotte Dujardin is SUSPENDED for a year after shocking video showed her whipping horse

TWO After a startling video of Olympic dressage champion Charlotte Dujardin whipping a horse surfaced, she was given a one-year suspension.

She was banned by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports when she withdrew from the Paris Games due to the incident.

This summer, Britain’s best horsewoman withdrew from the Paris Olympics in shame after a video surfaced showing her using a heavy whip to lash a horse 25 times on its legs.

The FEI, which oversees dressage and other horse sports, received the video.

In addition to being temporarily barred from the sport for six months, the three-time Olympic gold medallist expressed her tremendous remorse over her poor decision during a coaching session at a private stable.

She would have surpassed Laura Kenny’s cycling record of six with seven medals from four Games if she had won an Olympic medal of any color.

In the King’s New Year’s Honours List, the contender, who was born in Enfield, would have almost certainly received a Damehood.

Her funding was suspended while an investigation by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) was being conducted, UK sport stated in July.

We expect all Olympic and Paralympic athletes and staff to uphold the greatest standards of conduct, ethics, and integrity, according to a prior statement from a UK Sport representative.

The grave concerns expressed in the last 24 hours about Charlotte Dujardin and horse welfare have unsettled us.

In order for the Funding Eligibility Policy to be examined, sport national governing bodies must inform us of any conduct-related concerns they learn about involving a World Class Program athlete or employee.
