A PROPOSED social media policy would cover anyone involved in FEI activity, and could mean suspensions and fines for those who breach it.
The change is included in the latest draft of FEI rule changes, which will be voted on at the FEI general assembly (18–21 November).
Having initially suggested the rule cover riders and officials, the FEI has now, after stakeholders’ feedback, included all participants in the policy, to “outline their responsibility”.
“For example, they should exercise good judgement and think about the potential consequences of their posts and interactions on social media,” the FEI stated in its reason for the proposal. “They should not make derogatory, offensive, or inflammatory comments about other athletes, chefs d’equipe, coaches, teams, FEI officials, organisers, the FEI or any individuals associated with equestrian sport.”
In response to the initial proposal, the European Equestrian Federation said policing social media is not a matter for FEI rules.
