The Equestrian Federation of Ireland will this afternoon release a statement on allegations that Cian O' Connor's horse, Waterford Crystal, failed a doping test.
It is understood that the statement will include a copy of the letter sent by the International Equestrian Federation in Switzerland in relation to the drugs test.
RTÉ News understands that if reports that Waterford Crystal was interfered with are found to be true, Mr O'Connor will be asked to return his Olympic gold medal for showjumping.

Yep,

All over bar tghe shouting for this guy. IOC have to confirm that the B sample is positive, but I would'nt hold out. Inside line is that the same horse tested positive at an event in Rome 2 weeks previous to the olympics. Story was hushed up and the prize money was returned.

Can't say I have any pity for the guy concerned, he's a complete twat.
