Waterford Crystal blood sample available for tests in New York

The Equestrian Federation of Ireland has announced that the blood portion of the ‘B’ sample taken from the horse ridden by Ireland’s Olympic gold medallist, Cian O’Connor, is still available for testing and will be tested in New York rather than Hong Kong.

Earlier this week, it emerged that a portion of the ‘B’ sample had been stolen while being delivered to England for testing, but the missing portion contains only the urine test and a blood sample remains available for analysis.
