"Horse Sport Ireland intervened on behalf of competitor before learning that he was facing charges of defiling a minor"
"Horse Sport Ireland (HSI) has told the Sunday Independent it made the intervention after being contacted by the rider's solicitor, but was not aware he was facing charges at the time."
Horse Sport Ireland intervened on behalf of a competitor who had been blocked from competing at an international showjumping event. The competitor faced a charge of defilement of a minor. Horse Sport Ireland is a state-funded body that acted after being contacted by the rider's solicitor. Horse Sport Ireland stated that it was not aware the rider was facing criminal charges at the time of the intervention. The intervention resulted in the competitor being allowed to pursue participation pending further administrative or legal decisions. The sequence shows legal representation prompted the sporting body's action before awareness of the charge.
