Equestrian Australia is working with the country’s Olympic Committee and the FEI on “a solution” for its showjumping riders at Tokyo 2020, after one of the team’s three members was suspended.
Team member Jamie Kermond was provisionally suspended this week under the Australian National Anti-Doping Policy.
Following a test conducted by Sport Integrity Australia on June 26,  2021, Kermond’s A-sample tested positive for a metabolite of cocaine, which is prohibited in-competition by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the Australian National Anti-Doping Policy.
Kermond is prohibited from participating in any WADA compliant event, including the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, while the provisional suspension is in place. Kermond has the opportunity to have his B-sample analysed, Equestrian Australia said in a statement, adding that the organisation had offered support services to Kermond.
