British dressage star Charlotte Dujardin out of 2024 Paris Olympics over recently resurfaced video

Charlotte Dujardin, one of Britain's most winningest women in Olympic history, will not compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris because of a video that displayed an undisclosed “error of judgment” with her horse.

On Tuesday, Dujardin said in a statement that the video, which is from four years ago, showed an “error of judgment during a coaching session.” While the specific error and overall contents of the video have not been made public since the incident, the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) is investigating.

“What happened was completely out of character and does not reflect how I train my horses or coach my pupils, however, there is no excuse,” Dujardin said in an Instagram post.
