Tine Magnus (born 25 August 1991 in Merchtem, Belgium) is a Belgian equestrian. [1]

She represented the Belgium at the 2024 Summer Olympics and competed in team Eventing on her horse Dia Van Het Lichterveld Z. [2]

Shortly after the completion of the games, the team was provisionally suspended for an anti-doping violation relating to a positive test for trazodone on Tine Magnus's horse Dia Van Het Lichterveld Z. [3] [4] [5] In February 2025, the FEI disqualified the team's results following a determination of "no significant fault or negligence" as the source of the banned substance was a contaminated supplement administered by the team vet. [6] Magnus was issued a five month suspension (backdated to September) and fined CHF 4,000 with the horse suspended for two months (backdated to September).
