THREE-TIME Olympic medallist Shane Rose has been stood down from competition after wearing a mankini during a showjumping event.
The 50-year-old Australian, who hopes to represent his country at the Paris Games later this year, has apologised for any offence caused by his outfit choice at Wallaby Hill near Sydney last weekend.
Equestrian Australia is reviewing the matter after concerns were raised about Rose’s attire, but insisted he had not been suspended.
