Michael Pollard’s Icarus, the winner of May's Jersey Fresh CCI*** (N.J.), has tested positive for traces of an anabolic steroid that the rider said was given nearly four months earlier for therapeutic purposes.

Pollard, Chatsworth, Ga., was suspended July 1 by the Fédération Equestre Internationale, and following a confirmatory test of the B sample last week, is preparing an explanation of the situation for an FEI Tribunal that will decide the length of his suspension and whether he must forfeit his victory.
