Double Olympic dressage champion Charlotte Dujardin has been suspended from all competition for one year following a horse whipping controversy that saw her withdraw from the Paris Games.

Dujardin was provisionally suspended by equestrian’s governing body, the International Federation for Equestrian Sports, on July 23 as it launched an investigation into a video from four years ago showing her making what she described as “an error of judgement” during a coaching session.
