New German Teams for 2010 Announced, Capellmann and Kemmer Out
November 13, 2009
 Following the major doping drama in Germany in the spring of 2009, the German Equestrian Federation and dressage selection committee had suspended all A and B-teams in September. Yesterday, the FN released a letter in which the new teams were announced.
Remarkable absentees are Olympic individual medallists Isabell Werth and Heike Kemmer as well as former World Champion Nadine Capellmann. Due to a positive doping test Isabell Werth is suspended by the FEI till December 2009 and the German Equestrian Federation has banned her from the team until June 2010.
The riders received a letter from the FN in which their position on the 2010 German teams were listed. The new teams are remarkably smaller than before and the championship A-team only includes the members that competed at the 2009 European Dressage Championships in Windsor.
