This was confirmed by Sebastian Thiele, spokesman for the public prosecutor&#8217;s office.

For the competition, the modern pentathlete was assigned the horse &#8220;Saint Boy&#8221;, which refused to compete in the course. While Schleu was desperately trying to get the horse to move forward, national coach Raisner asked the rider to<\/span><b> hit the horse <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with the crop. As a result, Annika Schleu has been accused of animal cruelty and Raisner of <\/span><b>aiding and abetting animal cruelty<\/b>, by<b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Animal Welfare Association.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schleu denies accusations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern pentathlete Annika Schleu defended herself against the accusations during an interview with the weekly newspaper &#8220;Die Zeit&#8221;. She said she was <\/span><b>not feeling any guilt<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, because according to herself she had not treated the horse particularly harshly.
