A Norwegian rider, Tony Andre Hansen, was stripped of his Olympic bronze medal in team jumping after his horse tested positive for a banned drug at the Beijing Games. Hansen was disqualified by the International Equestrian Federation, known as F.E.I., and barred from the sport for four and a half months.
