WEG horses found with controlled substances face FEI tribunal

Mora Inocente, a 12-year-old grey mare ridden by Pablo De Los Heros for Argentina, tested positive for corticosteroid dexamethsaone and El Pangue Ciromagnum, a 12-year-old grey gelding ridden by Raimundo Undurraga Mujica for Chile, tested positive for corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide in samples taken on 11 September.
