Britain's decorated Olympian Charlotte Dujardin has withdrawn from the Paris Olympics after the International Federation for Equestrian Sports started investigating her conduct based on an old video. Dujardin acknowledged her inappropriate actions, resulting in a provisional suspension and her commitment to cooperate with ongoing investigations.

Charlotte Dujardin, Britain's joint-most decorated female Olympian, has withdrawn from the Paris Games and been provisionally suspended following the launch of an investigation by equestrian's governing body into her conduct.
