Published on Tuesday, December 3, 2013 in General
Equestrian Australia (EA) has
received notification from the International Equestrian Federation (FEI)
confirming the B sample taken from Clifton Pinot, ridden by Kevin McNab at the
2013 Burghley International Horse Trials, has tested positive for the banned
substance Reserpine.
In accordance with FEI
processes Kevin must now provide a written explanation to the FEI. EA has spoken
to Kevin who is now considering his options.
Kevin has been provisionally
suspended from international and national competitions since his horse Clifton
Pinot returned a positive A sample finding for Reserpine following routine
testing conducted under the FEI Clean Sport program at the 2013 Burghley
International Horse Trials.
EA treats any breaches of
doping and medication control seriously and has fully adopted and endorsed the
FEI and ASADA anti-doping policies and procedures in this
regard.
As the case is ongoing,
Equestrian Australia cannot make any further comment at this
time.
Grant Baldock, CEO, Equestrian
Australia
