NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 8, 2004
The FEI has announced that four horses tested positive during the 2004
Olympic Games in Athens. None of the four horses represented the United
States.
"Although lengthy, the medications hearing process is an intentionally
thorough procedure and all countries and riders involved deserve to
present their case. We will wait until that outcome before making any
statement," said John Long, Chief Executive Officer of the USEF.
