The FEI has received confirmation that the B sample of Jessica Kürten’s horse Castle Forbes Maike yielded a positive test result to the prohibited substance etoricoxib, after being sampled at the CSIO 5* La Baule (FRA) held on 10-13 May 2007, an event in which she had placed first.
This substance is classified as a “Medication Class A” substance under the FEI’s Equine Prohibited List, meaning that Ms. Kürten may accept an administrative penalty including disqualification from the event, and a fine.
