Riders competing at this week's Rolex Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) World Cup Jumping Final in Geneva, Switzerland, were warned about the two-year ban if their horse was was found to have a banned substance in his system. 

The warning came at the riders' briefing before the start of five days of competition in Geneva as part of the FEI's drive to raise awareness of the Clean Sport Campaign.

The Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping and Driving Finals are the first major competitions since the new Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Regulations and Veterinary Regulations came into effect on April 5, 2010.

Riders were provided with Clean Sport Information packs containing an updated Athlete's Guide and a brochure outlining how testing works, both of which are also available online at www.feicleansport.org. These publications have been sent to all National Federations for distribution to stakeholders
