FEI World Endurance Championship

FEI WORLD ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP

On 8 Febuary 2005, the FEI received an official protest from Sheik Hazza bin Sultan bin Zayed Al Nayan (UAE) who finished first at the World Endurance Championship which took place on 27 January 2005 in Dubai (UAE). The protest which will be forwarded to the Judicial Committee for consideration, is lodged against the Organising Committee of the Championship regarding the official prize giving ceremony of the 29 January 2005, where Sheik Hazza bin Sultan bin Zayed Al Nayan was not presented with the individual gold medal.

Last week, the FEI formally wrote to the Organising Committee of the World Endurance Championship and to the UAE National Federation asking for a detailed explanation as to why, without prior knowledge of the FEI, the winner of the Individual competition had not been presented with his gold medal during the closing ceremony.

So far, the FEI has not received any official reply neither from the Organising Committee nor from the National Federation.

The official results, as signed off by the President of the Ground Jury are published on the FEI website, section Endurance, Results. Those results remain unchanged.
