Sir Lee Pearson suspended.

[TizerorFizz]

He’s got 24 gold medals. Not retired but not selected. What’s going on?

In my opinion and that's all it s, it's about time

Relative of mine had the misfortune to be professionally involved with him a few years ago. She never had a good word to say about him. His behaviour towards horses and people absolutely beyond the pale in her opinion.

Your relative is very far from alone

This has been kept very quiet. Has it even been reported in the UK?

Its in the New York Times...

I was wondering why so quiet? He’s the poster boy of equestrian para Olympics. Should have said 14 golds. It’s very odd and he says he wants to be back for LA. So what’s going on? Horse welfare? If so, is keeping him out of public social
media to protect him? CD didn’t get that protection but I guess a video made it different!

Also - he’s already a Sir! Don’t agree with this for people still competing but there you are. Done now.

@crinkletits Im beginning to wonder if it’s because he’s disabled? It’s difficult to understand if it’s horse related or person related. The fact our most well known para equestrian isn’t selected should be reported in the uk.

Lee Pearson himself has said publicly in the context of the CDJ scandal that his suspension is nothing to do with horse welfare. Dressagedevil’s post provides sufficient information to work out what has happened and that is why he cannot be selected.

Wow

He is not a very nice man ......imo

It’s now in The Telegraph, The Guardian and Horse and Hound plus a few others. It will be interesting to see if he’s mentioned by the bbc when they talk about equestrian events.

An injunction! Wonder why the judge thought it was in the public interest to agree to that??

Utter trash journalism.
