Rider’s positive dope test caused by weight loss supplement

A showjumper whose positive dope test was caused by a contaminated weight loss supplement has been given a 12-month ban.

Czech rider Emma Augier De Moussac tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, in a urine sample taken at the CSI3* Olympic qualifier for group C in Budapest on 28 June 2019.

At the time of the sample, the rider noted on the disclosed doping control form that she was on a treatment for her skin, as well a weight loss product, the last dose of which she had taken that morning.
