SYDNEY: Senior Olympics official John Coates is confident Australia will be able to send an equestrian team to next year's Tokyo Games despite the sport's governing body going into voluntary administration after having its funding cut off.

Coates said EA would have to apply for readmission to the AOC after meeting a list of criteria but thought that the 13 months before the delayed Tokyo Olympics open would be more than enough time to reform the organisation. Sport Australia have taken over direct control of the equestrian high performance programme but Coates said EA must be"managing the sport on a 'whole of sport' basis" to be considered for readmission to the AOC.Coates has been at loggerheads with Sport Australia chairman John Wylie for several years and he also fired a warning shot across his adversary's bows regarding the overhaul of EA's leadership.
