Arrests made in French doping scandal

A leading French jumps trainer was one of more than 20 people arrested or questioned on Tuesday as part of an investigation into possible doping in equestrian industries across the country.

French media reported that a widespread police operation was conducted across the European nation, along with parts of Spain and Italy, in connection with trainers of jumps, trotting and equestrian horses.

Reports outline that trainers, vets, breeders, owners and pharmacists have been questioned by investigators.

French media agency AFP stated that 25 people were arrested and placed in custody in France, including leading jumps trainer David Cottin.

Cottin trained Easysland when he defeated Grand National hero Tiger Roll to win during the 2020 Cheltenham Festival. High-profile French trotting trainers have also been linked with the doping investigation.

French horse racing and trotting authorities, France Galop and Le Trot, issued a joint statement on Tuesday stating that the fight against doping is an 'absolute priority of the horse racing industry in France'.

"We are following with the greatest attention the ongoing investigations made public today (Tuesday) on suspicion of doping," read the joint statement.

Crikey, this got well out of hand with 2 countries & 4 equine sports involved Confused
