was diagnosed with a fracture on one side of his sacrum after his return to France 
Espoir de la Mare, other French horse withdrawn during the olympics was diagnosed with tenosynovitis (sp) of the flex tendons.
According to the French instances both horses are due back into action after several months of rest...

The question about Galan: Did he do this falling in his stall because of storm or falling while being lunged...

Def not full strength as the french acknowledged the fact that Espoir's injury did happen during the pre-olympic prep... Stupid of them to have shipped the horse all the way to HK

Seeing how much money the french saved by not having any SJers to ship, they could have shipped uninjured eventers

he was being a bit of a spastic when he arrived, fit event horse and all and alegedly had a bit of a moment while being lunged and slipped. according to my information it might even have been the same day when he got frightened in his stable by thuunder/fireworks/both and slipped again. shame though whatever appened.
