Hannah Burnett tested positive for Amfetamine at the Ocala Jockey Club 3-Day Event.

Top US eventer Hannah-Sue Burnett and two other riders were provisionally suspended by the FEI on December 21 after testing positive to prohibited stimulants.

All three tested positive to Amfetamine at the Ocala Jockey Club International 3-Day Event in Florida last month, where the CIC3* was won by Burnett and Harbor Pilot, owned by Jacqueline Mars.

Alyssa Phillips also tested positive to Canrenone (a steroidal antimineralocorticoid commonly used as a diuretic) and Jennie Brannigan to Methylphenidate and its metabolite Ritalinic acid. The medical use of Methylphenidate is for treating attention deficit disorder and narcolepsy though it is also classified by the DEA as a Schedule 2 narcotic, alongside amfetamines and cocaine.
