Lynch to remain suspended until final decision

Horse Sport Ireland was today informed by the world governing body, the FEI, that show jumper Denis Lynch will remain under provisional suspension from international competition until the final decision on the medication case involving his horse 'Lantinus' is issued by the FEI Tribunal.

Lynch appeared before the Tribunal at Lausanne, Switzerland last Saturday, September 6.

The Tribunal indicated that it expects to issue a final decision by 30 September, and has also indicated a timeline that allows for additional correspondence between the parties, including deadlines for additional statements and pleadings.

Denis Lynch was automatically suspended by the FEI following a positive medication test on his horse ‘Lantinus’ on August 21, 2008, at Hong Kong during the Olympic Games.
