The post questions whether this video is the reason for her withdrawal from the Olympics, suggesting that if it isn&#8217;t, the actual video must be even worse. However, this claim is false. The upcoming Olympics opening ceremony in Paris is set for this Friday, as reported by NBC News, and will feature the French national anthem and a performance by Kelly Clarkson. The video in question, which depicts a horse being kicked and punched, actually dates back to 2021 and features a woman named Sarah Moulds, not Dujardin. Moulds was cleared of two charges related to this incident. Dujardin, a three-time gold medalist, has been suspended from the Paris 2024 Olympics for repeatedly whipping a horse and has expressed her shame after a video of her actions surfaced.
