Brazil NF Pulls Pontius Pilate Move in Leandro da Silva Abuse Case, No Sentence

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) of the Brazilian equestrian federation has pulled a Pontius Pilate move and said it is "incompetent" to rule in the animal abuse case of Brazilian Olympian Leandro Aparecido da Silva.

On 17 September the sport tribunal called itself incompetent to impose sanctions on a rider for abuse that did not happen at a CHB sanctioned competition.

It took the tribunal almost three months to come to this conclusion of ineptitude.
