The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) Tribunal has issued final decisions in two cases involving positive findings for prohibited substances in 2014.

Samples taken from the horse In Situ at the 120-kilometre two-star Endurance competition at Mesaieed in Doha, Qatar, on Feb. 22, 2014, returned positive for the banned substance propoxyphene, a painkiller with local anaesthetic properties.

The tribunal has imposed a 24-month suspension on the rider Ali Yousef J Y Al Kubaisi (QAT), in accordance with Article 169 of the FEI’s General Regulations and Article 10 of the FEI Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Regulations (EADCMRs). A provisional suspension, served by the athlete from April 4, 2014, has been credited against the suspension imposed.

Al Kubaisi has also been fined CHF 1,000, will contribute CHF 1,000 towards the costs of the judicial procedure and pay the costs of the B Sample analysis. He has 30 days from the date of notification (July 29) to appeal this decision to the court of arbitration for sport (CAS)
