However, the investigation led by Bird \u0026 Bird LLP, found that a total of 93 foreign Athletes from 24 different NFs participated in the 2020 Sheikh Mohammed Cup and total of 88 foreign Athletes from 21 different NFs participated in the 2020 President\u0027s Cup.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FEI Board met via videoconference on 16 September to hear presentations from Bird \u0026 Bird and the UAE NF legal representatives. Legal counsel from both parties responded to questions from the FEI Board prior to the Board Members reaching their in-principle decision, which has been formally notified to the UAE NF on 24 September 2020. The UAE National Federation has 21 days to appeal the decision to the FEI Tribunal.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Board concluded that the UAE NF had violated the FEI Rules, in particular, Articles 101, 109.2 and 100.7.2 of the FEI General Regulations and Article 2.8 of the FEI Statutes. In the case of the Sheikh Mohammed Cup, the violations were deemed intentional, and in the case of the President’s Cup, the violations were considered at the very least negligent. The Board also concluded that the reason for re-classifying the events as CENs was to avoid the application of the new FEI Endurance Rules that were scheduled to take effect as of 1 January 2020.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the serious nature of the rule violations, the FEI Board unanimously agreed that a significant sanction was required and in accordance with Article 8.3 of the FEI Statutes, the UAE NF will be suspended with effect from 24 September 2020 as follows:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eo A full suspension of the UAE NF (all activities across all FEI disciplines) until 31 December 2020\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eo A suspension of the UAE NF’s activities in relation to the discipline of Endurance until 31 March 2021\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suspension also affects any events (including national Events) in the UAE, which become “Unsanctioned Events” during the suspension period and any FEI Athlete, Horse or Official – from any nation - participating will be liable to a period of ineligibility of up to six months in accordance with Articles 113.4 and 155.7 of the FEI General Regulations. This is extremely pertinent for all National Federations, and we urge you to share this information with your members to ensure they are fully informed of the repercussions regarding participation in “Unsanctioned Events”. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Board also imposed a financial sanction on the Organisers, requiring them to pay a percentage of the prize money – 50% for the Sheikh Mohammed Cup and 10% for The President’s Cup - as well as the organising dues that would have been payable to the FEI had the Events been held as CEIs. The Board also decided that the UAE NF must pay the FEI’s legal fees. The suspensions imposed on the UAE NF will remain in place until all financial sanctions have been paid in full to the FEI, as per Article 164.5 of the FEI General Regulations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FEI will be preparing and sending some relevant guidelines and information for National Federations in the coming days as to how this suspension may affect your Athletes, Officials and Events, but in the meantime, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact FEI Headquarters for more information.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd width=\u0022843\u0022 colspan=\u00222\u0022 valign=\u0022top\u0022\u003e\u003cp\u003eYours Sincerely,\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd valign=\u0022top\u0022\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFEI Communications Department\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003c/tbody\u003e\u003c/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003c/tbody\u003e\u003c/table\u003e","HasCommentsThread":false,"SeoTags":{"OpenGraphTags":[{"ID":"og:title","Name":"UAE National Federation suspended for Rules violations"},{"ID":"og:type","Name":"website"},{"ID":"og:url","Name":"https://www.endurancegb.co.uk/Cms/Spaces/NEWS/News/UAE+National+Federation+suspended+for+Rules+violations"},{"ID":"og:description","Name":"FEI NF NEWS"},{"ID":"og:image","Name":"https://www.endurancegb.co.uk/Client/Images/Cms/Logos%20(Rides,%20EGB,%20Groups,%20Sponsors,%20etc)/FEI_small_logo.jpg"}],"NonOpenGraphTags":[{"ID":"description","Name":"FEI NF NEWS"}]},"PageURL":"https://www.endurancegb.co.uk/Cms/Spaces/NEWS/News/UAE+National+Federation+suspended+for+Rules+violations","Comments":[],"UpdatedComments":[],"LastViewTime":null,"CanEdit":false,"CanPublish":false,"CanComment":false,"CanReadComments":false,"CanModerateComments":false}
