20The German team had already conquered the gold medal after 3 of 4 riders and finished the competition with 8 penalty points. I banged for second place, the USA prevailed over Sweden due to the better time, both teams had 20 penalty points. During the doping test, I found out that Ludger Beerbaum's horse "Goldfever" had betamethasone in his blood. He had used it to treat a skin irritation. Although he believed that the International Court of Sport CAS, Beerbaum was disqualified. Therefore, his points were scored and the German team fell with 21 penalty points back to the bronze. The USA was Olympic champion, Sweden second. Beerbaum did not get a medal.
