NextImg:British Olympic champion Charlotte Dujardin out of Paris Games after shocking video emerges

Three-time Olympic dressage champion Charlotte Dujardin won’t have a chance to add to her medal haul in Paris.

Dujardin, who is tied as the most-decorated British athlete in Olympic history with six medals, withdrew from the coming Games after a video emerged of her allegedly whipping a horse on the legs several times.

She reportedly had been a candidate to be the flag bearer for Team GB, but instead will be watching the opening ceremonies from home.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the 39-year-old announced her decision to pull out of all competitions while the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) has provisionally suspended her for six months pending an investigation.

In the video, Dujardin appears to be seen whipping a horse several times in the legs and back during a training session. During the minute-long clip, she looks to hit the animal at least a dozen times while another rider is on the horse.
