The German National Federation has expressed their intention to appeal the decision of the independent FEI Tribunal in the case against Christian Ahlmann, calling for stronger sanctions. It is entirely within the rights of the German National Federation to appeal this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The FEI continues to take the issue of doping within the sport seriously and will present its case as originally laid down before the FEI Tribunal, namely that capsaicin constituted a “doping†substance under the relevant rules.
