Equestrians suspended for chili pepper misuse
In a story that's straight out of this Monty Python skit, four equestrians have been suspended from Olympic show jumping for treating their horses with a banned derivative of chili pepper.
Combinations of horses and riders from Brazil, Germany, Ireland and Norway were all suspended after initial tests showed the presence of capsaicin, which is widely used in topical ointments for the treatment of minor horse injuries. The substance is banned at the Olympics because it can also serve as a mild stimulant.
The banned rider Tony Andre Hansen and his horse, Camiro, were part of the Norwegian show jumping team that captured a bronze medal on Monday. The Fédération Equestre International, the sport’s international governing body, deferred a decision on whether to revoke the bronze medal until after final test results were confirmed.

This is incredible because I can't believe that people can use those substances, actually I heard that a man used online pharmacy and that's perfect because that's the substance I want to use it.
