No update from FEI.

 

I'm starting to wonder who to contact if this continues... Michael Bugan? That would be weird, I've never attempted to contact an athlete before. Eurodressage? They love a good scandal. FEI? They may just ignore it.

I’d contact the athlete, Eurodressage, FEI, and a organization like Inside The Games.

Start with FEI before going to all kinds of others. Just in case it actually is just a mistake

Right. It probably is, since it is indeed very easy to expose.

[dcro 10,210]

So it was a mistake. Once again all listed events count for rankings, while those without 5* judges do not count for MER. It makes sense.

 

There are no changes in the simulation, however Wagner, Williamson and Zimmermann do get their points back.

 

As for the team reallocation list, it has changed a bit...

More or less safe qualifiers -

 

Sri Lanka fell behind both Hong Kong and Thailand. It's still close, but she needs some decent points. Soon.

Entries are out for the next week's decisive weekend of eventing.

 

Pratoni del Vivaro CCI4*-L

Rafael Mamprin Losano (Fuiloda)

Carlos Parro (Calcourt Landline)

Bao Yingfeng (Teseo)

Bianba Ciren (Tropic d'Heauville)

Sun Huadong (Lady Chin van't Moerven)

Arinadtha Chavatanont (Bolleybawn Prince)

+ Merel Blom (Ceda)

 

Ocala Jockey Club CCI4*-L

Nilson Moreira da Silva (Cash)

Nilson Moreira da Silva (Rock Phantom)

 

Brazil needs 1/4 to succeed, China 1/3, Thailand 1/1. Otherwise they lose their team places. Meanwhile, if Merel Blom gets a Top 3 finish, then the Netherlands will likely climb to the top of the reallocation list.

That's bad...

 

I wonder what PASO will do for the team event. If they only eliminate her results, Canada still finishes fourth, but if they disqualify the entire team then Argentina would get the quota. While the former may seem fair on paper, it could be argued that her insight on the course may have helped the team and thus the entire team should be disqualified.

[dcro 10,210]

How on earth do you test positive for cocaine on a competition day? When in Lima, I guess?

 

Anyway, usually the ruling is that entire team gets disqualified...

Because it can obviously happen to fall in your food. Or maybe she thought it was sugar. Or it was accidentally in a pigeon she ate.
