Charlotte Dujardin Temporarily Suspended From Olympics

Charlotte Dujardin, a six-time Olympic medalist, has been suspended by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) after a video surfaced showing her whipping a horse during a training session, allegedly striking the animal over 24 times. The incident has led to widespread outrage, with viewers of Good Morning Britain expressing their distress over the video being aired. Dujardin announced her withdrawal from the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics due to the investigation and described her actions as an 'error of judgement', stating she is 'deeply ashamed'. The video was filmed four years ago during a lesson with a 19-year-old student, and Dujardin's lawyer has commented on the harshness of her actions. Critics have called for responsible broadcasting practices, questioning the need to repeatedly show the graphic footage. The FEI has initiated a probe into the matter, which could have lasting implications for Dujardin's career.
