• Deslauriers and Urico were fourth in the selection trials and then jumped at observation events in Kentucky, Devon and Spruce Meadows with consistent rounds, but they do not appear on the nominated entry list. On June 18, the USEF published the results of a May 30 hearing that resulted in the suspension of Bruce Burr, who was listed as the trainer on record of Urico, for a prohibited substance violation.
The violation was dated during the March 21-24 selection trials, and the USEF selection trials published procedure states in its section about drug testing that: “Any horse whose sample contains a prohibited substance or a restricted substance in a concentration greater than the applicable FEI limits for any FEI prohibited and/or quantitated substance may result in the elimination of that athlete/horse combination from the Selection Process by the Selectors upon the recommendation of the Veterinary Panel and with the approval of the Show Jumping High Performance Committee, High Performance Working Group, and the USEF Executive Committee or its designees. This provision does not abrogate the enforcement of applicable doping rules at FEI and/or USEF competitions.”
