Horse declared ‘unfit’ by EFI gets all-clear from Asian Games organisers

Controversy surrounds the veterinary clearance of an elite dressage mount after Asian Games officials cleared Dono Di Maggio following an earlier rejection by the Equestrian Federation of India panel in Germany. Rider Hriday Vipul Chheda expressed relief over the clearance while thanking Indian Olympic Association president PT Usha, though a separate selection dispute has emerged as team members rejected the proposed starting lineup in favor of one based on objective merit and experience.
