Shane Rose, the Australian equestrian who caused a stir when he wore a mankini in competition, has been cleared to continue his preparations for the Paris Olympics after apologising for the eye-opening stunt, while warning others about the pitfalls of wearing a G-string on horseback.
Rose, a three-time Olympic showjumping medallist, was stood down by Equestrian Australia this week after the sport’s governing body received a complaint at the event in the New South Wales southern highlands this month.
