Norwegian equestrian Tony Andre Hansen and his 2008 Olympic mount, Camiro, have been definitively disqualified from the Beijing Olympics for a medication offense. The disqualification followed an appeals commission decision handed down Dec. 4.

Hansen's appeal of the 2008 ruling of the Fédération Equestre International (FEI) was dismissed last Friday by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and all previous sanctions were upheld. Hansen and Camiro's scores from individual and team events have been removed from the final tallies, dropping the Norwegian show jumping team from third to eighth place. The bronze medal and related points and prize money must be forfeited, according to the FEI.

The new final ranking of team show jumping of the 2008 Olympics is as follows:

1. USA

2. Canada

3. Switzerland

4. The Netherlands

5. Great Britain

6. Sweden

7. Australia

8. Norway

9. Germany

Furthermore, Hansen's 135-day suspension was maintained, and he was ordered to pay 6,000 Swiss francs (roughly $15,630) to compensate the FEI for legal expenses. This is in addition to the 11,000 Swiss francs (about $10,750) originally demanded by the FEI Tribunal in December 2008
