Salzgeber Likely to Compete at 2003 European Championships
July 25, 2003
 Ulla
Salzgeber will most likely compete at the 2003 European
Championships in Hickstead, which take place the second
week of August 2003. The legal department of the German
Equestrian Federation (FN) has decided that the 1995
rule of the German Olympic Committee for Equestrian
Sport (DOKR) can not be applied. This DOKR rule, dated
from 1995, stipulates that a rider can not participate
in any championships when there is a pending doping
case against him.
Ulla Salzgeber requested the FN to overrule the DOKR
rule, as she has not been banned from competing by the
hierarchically supreme federation, the F.E.I. or the
International Equestrian Federation. The F.E.I. can
not sanction riders whose doping case are legally pending.
Salzgeber has requested for the public opening of the
B-test, but the FEI still has not announced the B-test
results.
Consequently, Ulla Salzgeber will most likely defend
her 2001 European Champion's title in Hickstead.
