IRISH Olympic show jumper Darragh Kenny has been provisionally suspended by the FEI after testing positive for a banned substance.

The FEI confirmed the provisional suspension on their Human Anti-Doping Case Table on October 13th, the date on which it came into effect. It states the testing took place at the Longines FEI Jumping European Championships in A Coruña, Spain in July 2025 where Ireland finished fourth and Kenny seventh individually.

The FEI indicated that the positive test is related to a substance classified under Class S6 (stimulants) on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.

In a statement, the 37-year-old Olympian said: "I wish to address my current situation. After the European Championships earlier this year, I was notified by the FEI of a positive result for a medication prohibited under anti-doping regulations.

"The medication in question is part of a prescribed treatment I have been taking under medical supervision for ADHD. As a result, the FEI has imposed a provisional suspension while the matter is being reviewed.

"I am cooperating fully with the FEI and the International Testing Agency (ITA) to clarify the circumstances surrounding this case. I want to emphasise that I never intended to gain any competitive advantage. My sole aim was to responsibly address a medical condition under professional guidance.

"I am deeply grateful to my national federation, my sponsors, owners, clients, and the broader equestrian community for their support throughout this process. Thank you for your understanding."

Horse Sport Ireland said: “This matter is being managed by the International Testing Agency (ITA) on behalf of the FEI. As the case remains ongoing, Horse Sport Ireland will not be making any further comment at this time.”
