Saudi Arabian Riders Can Compete at Olympics Following Reduced Suspensions

Two members of Saudi Arabia’s Olympic equestrian team can compete at the London Games after the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced their bans for breaking anti-doping rules.

A CAS ruling said Khaled Abdulaziz Al Eid and Abdullah Waleed Sharbatly were guilty of “minor” offenses and cut their suspensions from eight to two months.

The riders, who have been provisionally suspended since February, can compete again immediately.
