The hearing for Kiwi rider Jock Paget has begun in central London.
Paget is getting the chance to have his say in person, six months after he was notified that the "B" sample taken from horse Clifton Promise after their triumph at the Burghley Horse Trials in September had tested positive for banned sedative reserpine.
Equestrian Sports New Zealand (ESNZ) announced in April that Paget had requested that the FEI (FédérationÉquestre Internationale), Tribunal disqualify him and Clifton Promise from the 2013 event.
The international governing body accepted the request, taking the title from Paget and gifting it to Andrew Nicholson.
The eventer - who has not been competing for 9 months - avoided waiting media today.
The hearing is expected to last for two days but the results may not be known for a month.
Paget is hoping to be cleared so he can compete in the World Games that start in August.
It has earlier been reported that Paget does not contest the presence of the banned substance but claims no fault and no negligence in the case and has submitted a comprehensive dossier of evidence explaining and supporting this claim which he will present at the hearing.
