The Swiss Supreme Court has rejected an appeal filed by Tony Andre Hansen of Norway against his disqualification from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Hansen’s horse, Camiro, tested positive for the prohibited substance capsaicin during the Olympic Games, and Hansen was provisionally suspended on Aug. 21, 2008. Shortly after, a panel of the Fédération Equestre Internationale Tribunal heard the case and issued their final decision on Dec. 22, 2008. Hansen was suspended until Jan. 2, 2009, and was also disqualified from all placings with Camiro at the Games.
