The names of the substances found in the 'A' samples of Cian O'Connor's horses, ABC Landliebe and Waterford Crystal, have been revealed.
Fluphenazine and Guanabenz were the substances detected in ABC Landiebe, while the prohibitive substances found in Waterford Crystal were Fluphenazine and Zuclopenthixol.
According to the Sport's Governing Body, the FEI, the tranquilising drugs are considered as clear attempts to manipulate the performance of the horse, often being administered to 'hot-headed' horses.
However, Cian O'Connor's solicitor, Andrew Coonan has stated that they don't accept the findings of the 'A' Sample in relation to Waterford Crystal.
Meanwhile RTÉ sport understands that the blood part of Waterford Crystal's 'B' sample is to be tested in Hong Kong on Friday, despite the theft of part of the sample from Cambridgeshire last month.
It is understood that Coonan has been informed by the International Equestrian Federation (the FEI) that it is still proceeding with the case in relation to Waterford Crystal.
The news comes a day after it was revealed that the 'B' sample of Waterford Crystal was stolen in Cambridgeshire last month. And the controversy deepened today when it was revealed that the Equestrian Federation of Ireland's offices in Co Kildare were broken into overnight.
The president of the EFI, Mrs Avril Doyle, said cleaning staff arriving at the office at Kildare Paddocks, Kill, this morning discovered the break in. She said the front door had been forced open and one of the five internal offices had been broken into.
"It would appear that one of the filing cabinets had been gone through," she said.
She told RTÉ this morning that it was unsure if anything had been taken and gardaí had been notified.
