Olympic medal favourite Charlotte Dujardin withdraws from Paris 2024

Team GB star won six medals across three Games

Shock decision comes after video emerges from four years ago

Charlotte Dujardin, Britain's joint-most decorated female Olympian, has announced her shock withdrawal from Paris 2024 after a video from four years ago emerged.

The equestrian star, who has won two Olympic golds in team and individual dressage, made the announcement on Tuesday evening.

Dujardin's withdrawal is a major blow to Team GB's hopes of success in Paris. She was among the favourites to win gold in both the individual and team dressage events.

The reasons for Dujardin's withdrawal have not been disclosed, but it is understood that the video that emerged shows her using a prohibited training method.

Dujardin has denied any wrongdoing, but has said that she does not want to be a distraction to the team.

"I am deeply disappointed to have to withdraw from the Olympic Games," Dujardin said in a statement.

"I have always been proud to represent my country and I was looking forward to competing in Paris.

"However, I do not want to be a distraction to the team and I believe that it is in the best interests of the team for me to withdraw."

Dujardin's withdrawal is a major disappointment for British equestrian fans. She is one of the most successful riders in the world and her absence from Paris 2024 will be a significant loss.
