FRENCH event rider Maxime Livio has been suspended by the FEI after a horse he rode in Thailand tested positive for a banned substance.

Bingo S, a nine-year-old Dutch gelding owned by the Thailand Equestrian Federation and ridden by Livio at the Pattaya CSI*-W show jumping competition in Thailand, tested positive for testosterone. The horse will be suspended until April 15th, 2015, but there is no end date set for Livio’s suspension.
