The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) Tribunal has maintained the two-month provisional suspensions on the three Swiss jumping horses that tested positive for prohibited substances.

Nino des Buissonnets and Nasa, ridden by Steve Guerdat, and Charivari KG, ridden by Alessandra Bichsel, each received a two-month provisional suspensions on July 20

Samples taken from Nino des Buissonnets at the CSIO5* ‎at La Baule, France, on May 17 returned positive for the banned substances codeine and oripavine and the controlled medication substance morphine. Samples taken from Nasa at the CSIO5* ‎at La Baule on May 16 returned positive for the codeine and morphine. Nasa’s sample also showed traces of oripavine, but not at a sufficiently high level for the testing laboratory to declare a positive. Samples taken from Charivari KG at the CSIOY (Young Riders) in Deauville, France, on May 8 returned positive for codeine, oripavine, and morphine.

Guerdat and Bichsel were notified of the positives on July 20 and both immediately requested the lifting of the provisional suspensions. Although the tribunal lifted the provisional suspensions on the riders on July 27, requests for the lifting of the provisional suspensions on the three horses were denied at that time
