As in2004, the FEI has again agreed with the World Anti-Doping Agency, WADA, to limit the number of riders included in the FEI’s "Registered Testing Pool" (RTP). We have chosen the top riders from the Olympic disciplines using the ranking lists as follows:

40 riders from Jumping
30 riders from Dressage
30 riders from Eventing

We have accessed the ranking lists on 1 January 2005 for Jumping, Dressage and Eventing. The 2005 RTP riders will remain the same throughout the year. A new RTP list will be determined at the end of 2005 for the list for 2006.

While all international level riders are subject to both in- and out-of-competition testing, the riders in our RTP will be included on a special list used by the WADA testing services for their unannounced out-of-competition testing program.

The list of riders concerned and detailed information on the Testing Pool are available on the FEI website www.horsesport.org, section MEDICAL
