BRITISH Equestrian has confirmed Sir Lee Pearson — Team GB’s third most successful Paralympian — is suspended amid an ongoing investigation into his conduct following his non-selection for Paris 2024.

The 50-year-old won 14 golds between 2000 and 2021, a total bettered only by cyclist Dame Sarah Storey and swimmer Mike Kenny.

ParalympicsGB named last month an all-female dressage team of Natasha Baker, Mari Durward-Akhurst, Sophie Wells and Georgia Wilson for the Games in the French capital.
