FEI dismisses BEF's demand

The FEI Tribunal has announced its decision in the case of the British Equestrian Federation’s (BEF) challenge to the FEI Bureau resolution relegating the British team from the FEI Nations Cup™.

The Tribunal has decided not to intervene in the Bureau’s decision of 17 September 2009 relegating the Great Britain, Belgium, and Italian teams and has therefore declined the BEF’s challenge.

As a consequence, those three teams remain relegated to the FEI Nations Cup™ Promotional League for the 2010 season.

BEF has 30 days to appeal this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
