Pardon me if i've missed something here...but is there an Actual winner of the 
Individual Medals....Offically???


This from the FEI web site this morning (feb 11 posting). Basically,
as per FEI protocol, there has been no statement concerning any
possible rules infractions (although unofficially, we think that the
normal protocols are being followed re: drug testing). So there is no
official way to know what's up on that end until/unless there is a
disqualification according to protocol. So the only possible thing to
do is, as Sh. Hazza has done, protest the strangeness at the medals
presentation. The official World Champions are Sh. Hazza and Hachim at
this point. I think all the web sites (except possibly the French
Federation site?) reflect those results.


it is sad that there is this shadow hanging around:(

===============================
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.
