Norwegian rider Tony Andre Hansen cost his bronze medal winning team their medal after it has been found out that the horse that he used was positive for a banned substance in the Olympics. The substance is capsaicin, a banned pain relieving drug. Hanson has also been banned from equestrian jumping for four and a half months.

In the team equestrian event for the Olympics, it was a four-rider team with the top three scores counting. Since Hanson is now disqualified, the combined scores dropped Norway out of medal contention.

The podium for the event now looks like:

Gold: United States (Wins Jumpoff)

Silver: Canada

Bronze: Switzerland
