Werth Suspended After Horse's Doping Test
BERLIN (AP) — Isabell
Werth of Germany, a multiple Olympic dressage gold medalist, has been suspended
after her horse tested positive for a banned substance.
Germany's National
Equestrian Federation said Wednesday that Werth's horse, Whisper, tested positive
for fluphenazine, a sedative, at an international tournament in Wiesbaden on May
30.
Werth was suspended from all tournaments until further
notice, the federation said in a statement.
The International
Equestrian Federation has scheduled a hearing for Thursday to decide whether to
uphold the suspension, the statement said. It added that Werth will request the
opening of the B sample.
"This is a catastrophe
for equestrian sport, but we will not let ourselves be discouraged by the bad
news and will continue along the road for fair equestrian sport," German
federation president Breido zu Rantzau said.
The 39-year-old
Werth won team Olympic gold medals in 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2008, and an individual
gold in 1996. She also has three Olympic silver medals.
