UIPM Court of Arbitration rejects appeal filed by Danish Modern Pentathlon Association (MPADK)
On 2 February 2022, the UIPM Court of Arbitration announced its decision to dismiss an appeal filed by MPADK. The appeal was directed against the decision of the UIPM Executive Board (EB) dated 31 October 2021 to endorse the recommendations by the UIPM Innovation Commission to replace horse-riding with another discipline for the 2028 Olympic Games and to open the consultation process regarding this matter.
The Court emphasized that the UIPM EB decision did not entail any change of the UIPM Statutes or other UIPM Regulations and fully respected the competence of the UIPM Congress to decide on any such changes in the future. According to the UIPM Court of Arbitration, the UIPM EB acted within its competence stipulated in Articles 13.1 and 2 of the UIPM Statutes. Further, the Court stated that the decision by the 2021 UIPM Congress to ratify the challenged decision was validly taken and confirmed that the challenged UIPM EB Decision represented the will of the majority of the UIPM Members.
