Colombia-born Bluman was told he couldn’t compete because his horse, Gemma, is listed as American rather than Israeli. Bluman requested the help of the International Federation of Equestrian Sports (FEI) to correct this error but was refused, so Bluman was replaced by Teddy Vlok, who will ride in Amsterdam.
The American-Israeli Bond is one of the members of the squad who will continue at the Games in the coming weeks. Bond, 36, is a Christian, although her father is Jewish and was born in Haifa, and she became an Israeli citizen in 2018.
