Following the statement by Yvonne Losos de Muniz on the CAS Ruling published on eurodressage.com, FEI Secretary General Ingmar De Vos wishes to state the following:
“The FEI has the responsibility to enforce and, in this case, to defend the implementation of its rules. This is particularly important given the fact that under these rules athletes are competing for Olympic qualification and it is the duty of the FEI to ensure athletes have equal opportunities to qualify for the entire duration of the qualification period. I have full confidence that the FEI team and Ms Lisa Lazarus in particular has defended this case, as always, in a professional manner with the utmost respect for the rights of all parties involved. It is regrettable to see that Yvonne Losos de Muñiz has now made the decision to leave the sport.”
