British triple Olympic champion Charlotte Dujardin has been banned for one year after a video of her whipping a horses legs saw her pull out of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The London-born 39-year-old was also handed a 10,000 Swiss Francs (£8,800) fine by the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI).

Both British Equestrian and British Dressage have taken on the same punishment handed down by the FEI.

Dujardin made headline news shortly before the Paris games when a video from four years prior showed her whipping a student’s horse on the legs.

The dressage specialist has three Olympic gold medals to her name – two from London 2012 and another from Rio 2016.

Dujardin recorded a further silver in Rio, and two bronze medals at Tokyo 2020 made her Britain’s most successful female Olympian.
