The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has reallocated medals and diplomas from London 2012 and Paris 2024 due to athlete disqualifications for doping. Abeba Aregawi (Ethiopia) will receive the silver medal in the 2012 women's 1500m, with Shannon Rowbury (USA) moving to bronze after Tatyana Tomashova's disqualification. This follows the disqualifications of Asli Cakir Alptekin and Gamze Bulut. Additionally, Domien Michiels' (Belgium) results from Paris 2024 were disqualified by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) after testing positive for dorzolamide, resulting in Belgium's team dressage fifth-place finish being reallocated to France.

The IOC has confirmed that equestrian sport will retain its full 200-athlete quota for LA28, ensuring the inclusion of eventing. The decision follows a review after Tokyo 2020 and ahead of Paris 2024. The venue is likely to be Galway Downs in Temecula, California. The qualification process will begin at the FEI World Championships in Aachen in 2026 and run until the end of 2027.

FEI President Ingmar De Vos congratulated Kirsty Coventry on her election as IOC President, emphasizing a focus on sport within the Olympic Movement. De Vos highlighted their prior discussions on priorities and his election to ASOIF, aiming to improve communication with the IOC and other organizations. The FEI Sport Forum addressed the Olympic and Paralympic qualification systems for Los Angeles 2028, including potential amendments like removing the Longines League of Nations Final as a team qualifying event. Discussions on competition format changes were deferred to 2026. De Vos, nearing the end of his FEI presidency, aims to leave the FEI financially stable.

LA28 organizers, including Chairman Casey Wasserman, assured full access for all participants despite concerns over President Trump's restrictive visa policies. Newly-elected IOC President Coventry plans to meet with Trump to discuss the Games' outlook and ensure athlete participation, emphasizing solidarity and safety. Wasserman highlighted ongoing dialogues with the U.S. government and the establishment of a dedicated State Department desk to address visa issues. He also acknowledged the need for Los Angeles to recover from recent wildfires, viewing the Olympics as a catalyst for urban renewal.
