Een hoop gezeur met de arbitrage begrijp ik van de BBC

Great Britain have confirmed they will contest the controversial results of the Olympic three-day eventing.

Britain emerged from a dramatic final day with team bronze and an individual silver for Leslie Law.

Bettina Hoy won individual gold and team gold with Germany but only after her team successfully appealed against a penalty of 12 time points.

If the German appeal had failed, Law would have won Team GB's first gold of Athens Games.

Pippa Funnell would also have won an individual bronze, while France would have taken gold in the team event, ahead of Britain and the USA.

British team manager Yogi Breisner confirmed that Britain, along with France and the USA, will launch an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

"The rules are the rules. I mean if someone had gone the wrong side of the flag on cross country then they would have been disqualified," said Breisner.

French technical director Olivier Le Page told BBC Sport: "The appeal jury have contradicted the judges on the ground.

"We do not agree with the decision, and nor do the British or Americans."

Hoy jumped a clear round in Wednesday's first round of showjumping, but was later found to have circled the start area twice.

Rules state that riders are allowed 45 seconds after the bell rings to start their round but during that period Hoy went across the start line but did not start her round, making another circle instead.
