‘More questions than answers’ in drug saga

EFI president Avril Doyle said there were “more questions than answers” arising out of Waterford Crystal’s missing ‘B’ sample. With the help of Prof Michael Lambert, a member of the FEI Medications Sub-committee and one of the few FEI officials prepared to comment yesterday, Noel Baker tries to answer a few of them.

Q. Who has overall responsibility for the testing of 'A' and 'B' samples?

A. The International Equestrian Federation (FEI), based in Lausanne in Switzerland.
