Talaat was suspended in January 2022 for doping in the form of cannabis [1]. Based on a sample taken in August 2019 at the African Games, an FEI tribunal conducted a disciplinary hearing in October 2021. In January 2022, the tribunal ordered a two-year period of ineligibility from 17 June 2021. This includes his results at the Tokyo Games, resulting in the disqualification of the Egyptian showjumping team. [2]
