Olympic show jumper to argue case before tribunal

SHOW JUMPER Denis Lynch appears before a tribunal of the International Equestrian Federation at 1pm today in Lausanne, Switzerland.

He will argue his case following the discovery of a banned substance in the horse Lantinus at the Olympics.

The Tipperary rider, who is based in Münster, Germany, is facing the prospect of a lengthy ban after two samples from the gelding tested positive for capsaicin.
