2008 Olympic champion Eric Lamaze banned from equestrian until 2031 for breaking doping rules
Associated PressLAUSANNE, Switzerland — Equestrian rider Eric Lamaze, an Olympic champion in 2008, has been banned from the sport until 2031 after a second four-year doping suspension was imposed at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The court’s judges ordered the Canadian star to serve the latest ban for evading a doping control in the Netherlands in 2021, the International Equestrian Federation said in a statement Monday. “While CAS proceedings were ongoing, Mr. Lamaze submitted forged medical documents, which led to a four-year ineligibility period,” the equestrian governing body said. The FEI said Lamaze also was fined 15,000 Swiss francs and ordered to pay 12,000 Swiss francs toward the governing body’s legal costs plus the costs of the arbitration case.
