- GB dressage star was in line for damehood after Paris
- UK Sport has also suspended her lottery funding
The video of the Team GB equestrian star Charlotte Dujardin whipping a horse 24 times in a private coaching session has cost her a damehood, official sources have told the Guardian.
Dujardin was widely expected to be handed the honour if she won another dressage medal in Paris. That would give the 39-year-old seven medals – equalling Jason Kenny’s record tally for a British Olympian. However, Whitehall sources have confirmed that any such honour is off the table.
