AN appeal against the FEI decision to annul results from competitions held in France where Olympic and Longines ranking points were on offer has been dismissed by the FEI Tribunal.

The appeals by Sri Lanka’s Mathilda Karlsson and Romanian athlete Andrea Herck, which were consolidated by the FEI Tribunal, resulted from the international governing body’s decision in February of this year to retrospectively remove six competitions from three FEI jumping events held in Villeneuve-Loubet in December 2019 and a further six competitions from three events at the same venue in January 2020.
