• Allegations of elitism, self-interest and corruption also to be looked into • Is the latest governing body to face negative allegations about cultureAllegations of bullying, elitism and corruption will be investigated as part of an independent review commissioned by the British Equestrian Federation. It is the latest sports governing body to face negative allegations about its culture, after reviews were conducted at British Cycling, British Swimming and British Bobsleigh. The three-member independent review panel will be led by John Mehrzad, the head of the sports law group at Littleton’s solicitors. The independent panel will be expected to provide recommendations “with respect to the values, behaviour, character and the culture of the BEF moving forward”. The BEF website states that the panel aims to complete its review by 1 December.
