Family members of Princess Hoya (head of the FEI) are in trouble:

Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai and
a son of Princess Haya's husband Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum,
was the rider of Eo Fawati, who has tested positive after a 120km race
in Bahrain in January.

Eo Fawati tested positive for 16-b Hydroxy-Stanozolol, a metabolite of
stanozolol and a synthetic anabolic steroid.

AND

British Olympian Michael Whitaker is the latest high-profile equestrian
to be suspended by the FEI after his horse failed a drug test.

Whitaker's stallion, Tackeray, tested positive to traces of altrenogest,
a synthetic hormone. It is found in the product Regumate, which can be
given legally to mares.

Whitaker has reportedly said that there was a mix-up with a feed that
was meant for his top mare, Portofino.

Showjumper Cameron Hanley is under investigation by the German
equestrian federation. It is alleged a syringe was found in the pocket
of a jacket belonging to the Irish rider at the German Equestrian
Championships at Balve on the weekend of June 13

AND

Racehorse trainer Nicky Henderson faced a day-long hearing in London
before the British Horseracing Authority's disciplinary panel over the
circumstances surrounding Moonlit Path's (one of the Queen's horses)
race at Huntingdon on February 19.

The sixth-placed horse later tested positive for the anti-bleeding
agent, tranexamic acid (also known as Cyklokapron), which is in breach
of racing rules.
