- BHA places interim ban on double Olympic gold medallist
- Todd has admitted video is of him and has apologised
The British Horseracing Authority has confirmed an interim suspension has been placed on the licence of Sir Mark Todd after a video emerged on social media of the trainer striking a horse with a branch.
Todd was a highly successful three-day eventer before taking out his training licence, winning two Olympic gold medals in 1984 and 1988 for New Zealand and earning a knighthood in 2013 for his equestrian achievements.
