About Denis Lynch
- Denis Lynch (born 3 May 1976) is an Irish show jumper. He represented Ireland at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
- Early on 21 August it emerged that he had withdrawn from the equestrian individual final which was due to have been held later that day.
- It was later confirmed that Lynch was banned from entering the show jumping final due to his horse, Lantinus, being found to have been in contact with illegal substances.
- Latinus was found to have capsaicin in his system due to the use of a cream similar to Deep-heat called Equiblock.
- Lynch had been using the banned substance for some time but maintained that he did not know it was illegal.
- He described himself as "shattered" due to missing out on his chance for an Olympic medal.
- Lantinus was one of four horses banned on doping offences; the others were from Brazil, Germany and Norway.
- Lantinus and Lynch had been described prior to the scandal as "Ireland's best chance of an Olympic medal in Beijing".
