The FEI has announced the composition of the Ethics Panel formed to assess and further investigate practices among members of the German equestrian team.

The Panel will be chaired by former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Stevens (GBR). David O’Connor (USA), Olympic champion and President of the United States Equestrian Federation, Ken Lalo (ISR), chairman of the FEI Tribunal, and John Roche, FEI Director of Jumping, will act as members.

Says Lord Stevens, “I am privileged to have been asked to chair the FEI Ethics Panel for what is such a sensitive and important matter and to assist the organisation in its efforts to ensure the integrity of sport and horse welfare.”
