Lamaze has won three Olympic medals, as well as four [[Pan American Games]] medals and one [[World Equestrian Games]] bronze. He is considered one of Canada's best [[showjumper]]s. He is currently banned from participating in equestrian activities until 2027.

==Early life==
Lamaze was born in [[Montreal]], Quebec.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |url=https://ericlamaze.com/eric-lamaze/ |title=Eric Lamaze |date=2013-08-13 |website=Torrey Pines Stable |language=en-US |access-date=2019-12-29 |archive-date=December 29, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191229235120/https://ericlamaze.com/eric-lamaze/ |url-status=live}}</ref> He started riding at age twelve and worked in exchange for time in the saddle.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |url=https://olympic.ca/team-canada/eric-lamaze/ |title=Eric Lamaze |date=2019-08-02 |website=Team Canada - Official Olympic Team Website |language=en |access-date=2019-12-29 |archive-date=August 5, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190805111317/https://olympic.ca/team-canada/eric-lamaze/ |url-status=live}}</ref> He was considered a promising junior rider,<ref name=":0" /> and trained under Roger Deslauriers, [[George H. Morris|George Morris]], Jay Hayes and Hugh Graham.<ref name=":1" />

==Career==

=== 1991–2006 ===
Lamaze began competing at the grand prix level in 1991<ref name=":1" /> or 1992.<ref name=":2" /> A year later, he was named to the Canadian equestrian team.<ref name=":1" /> His first major competition as a national team member was the [[1994 FEI World Equestrian Games|1994 World Equestrian Games]].<ref name=":0" />

Lamaze was named to the Canadian team for the [[1996 Summer Olympics]] in [[Atlanta, Georgia]], but lost his place and received a four-year suspension after testing positive for [[cocaine]].<ref name="chronofhorse.com">{{Cite web |title=Lamaze Faces FEI Anti-Doping, Tampering Charges Over Alleged Refusal To Drug Test - The Chronicle of the Horse |url=https://www.chronofhorse.com/article/lamaze-faces-fei-anti-doping-tampering-charges-over-alleged-refusal-to-drug-test/ |access-date=2024-05-15 |language=en-US}}</ref> Arbitrator Ed Ratushny overturned the suspension, although Lamaze had already missed the Atlanta Games when the ruling was delivered.<ref name="Tom Harrington2">{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/2.720/finding-faults-1.717839 |title=Finding faults |author=Tom Harrington |date=July 20, 2008 |access-date=2015-11-28 |publisher=[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC Sports]] |archive-date=December 14, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151214160552/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/2.720/finding-faults-1.717839 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Lamaze rebuilt his career and ascended the rankings, being again regarded as a key member of the Canadian team for the [[2000 Summer Olympics|Sydney Games]]. However he tested positive for a banned stimulant, which resulted in his removal from the team and facing a lifetime ban.<ref name="chronofhorse.com"/> Right afterwards, a despondent Lamaze contemplated suicide and while drunk he smoked a cigarette laced with cocaine. Forty-eight hours later, the test for the banned stimulant was reversed on appeal, however Lamaze then tested positive for cocaine which would also have meant a lifetime ban. Arbitrator Ed Ratushny overturned the cocaine test, but the [[Canadian Olympic Committee]] refused to reinstate Lamaze on the Canadian team.<ref name="Tom Harrington2" />

=== 2007–2011: Hickstead years ===
In 2007, Lamaze became the first Canadian jumping rider in 20 years to make the top ten in the world rankings. He was also the first North American jumping rider to exceed one million in prize money a year, a third of these earnings the result of winning the CN International Grand Prix at [[Spruce Meadows]].<ref name="Tom Harrington2"/> The CN International Grand Prix was Lamaze's first major win with the [[stallion]] [[Hickstead (horse)|Hickstead]].

Lamaze competed in the [[2008 Summer Olympics|Beijing Olympics]], riding Hickstead.<ref name="MSN2">{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/2.720/roll-call-of-honour-canada-s-medal-winners-1.710582 |title=Roll call of honour: Canada's medal winners |date=August 23, 2008 |work=CBC |access-date=2015-11-28 |archive-date=December 14, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151214194201/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/2.720/roll-call-of-honour-canada-s-medal-winners-1.710582 |url-status=live}}</ref> He was awarded a silver medal after a strong performance in the [[Equestrian at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Team jumping|team event]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Last medal winners applaud Beijing jumpers |last=Cudmore |first=John |date=August 21, 2008 |work=The Markham Economist and Sun}}</ref>  Lamaze went on to win a gold medal in the [[Equestrian at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Individual jumping|individual show jumping event]] of the 2008 Beijing Olympics at the [[Equestrian at the 2008 Summer Olympics|Shatin Equestrian Venue]] in Hong Kong as a result of a jump off between himself riding Hickstead and the Swedish rider [[Rolf-Göran Bengtsson]], riding Ninja.<ref name="MSN2" />

In the January 2009 Rolex World Rankings for show jumping by the [[International Equestrian Federation]], Lamaze was named to the top spot for the first time.<ref>[http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/more/01/07/lamaze.ap/index.html Olympic Equestrian Champ Lamaze is Number One for the First Time]{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} SI.com, January 7, 2009</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2009-01-06 |title=Lamaze jumps to the top |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/lamaze-jumps-to-the-top/article1146156/ |access-date=2024-05-15 |work=The Globe and Mail |language=en-CA}}</ref> In October 2009, Lamaze won the €120,000 Equita Masters in Lyon, France, riding Hickstead.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.torreypinesstable.com/Press_Releases_2009/10_31_2009_Eric_Lamaze_and_Hickstead_win_in_Lyon.htm |title=Olympic Champions Eric Lamaze and Hickstead Win in Lyon, France |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130204202147/http://www.torreypinesstable.com/Press_Releases_2009/10_31_2009_Eric_Lamaze_and_Hickstead_win_in_Lyon.htm |archive-date=February 4, 2013 |access-date=September 21, 2012}}</ref>

Lamaze returned to first place in the Rolex Rankings for July 2010. In July that year, he had two major wins with Hickstead, at the [[2010 CHIO Aachen#Großer Preis von Aachen|Aachen World Equestrian Festival]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.horsetalk.co.nz/news/2011/11/052.shtml |title=Hickstead: loss of a true superstar &#124; Horsetalk.co.nz - International horse news |date=November 6, 2011 |publisher=Horsetalk.co.nz |access-date=November 7, 2011 |archive-date=November 13, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111113205731/http://www.horsetalk.co.nz/news/2011/11/052.shtml |url-status=live}}</ref> and the Spruce Meadows Queen Elizabeth II Cup.

Hickstead died during an event for the FEI [[Show Jumping World Cup]] in Verona, Italy. Lamaze was distraught and considered retirement.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-11-09 |title=Lamaze considering retirement after death of horse |url=https://www.cp24.com/lamaze-considering-retirement-after-death-of-horse-1.723528 |access-date=2024-05-16 |website=CP24 |language=en}}</ref>

In July 2016, he was again named to [[Canada at the 2016 Summer Olympics#Equestrian|Canada's Olympic team]], serving as the leader following [[Ian Millar]]'s decision to not compete again. Lamaze rode the Hanoverian mare, [[Fine Lady 5]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://olympics.cbc.ca/news/article/eric-lamaze-leads-canadian-olympic-equestrian-team-ian-millar-absence.html |title=Eric Lamaze leads Canadian Olympic equestrian team in Ian Millar's absence |last=Cleveland |first=Amy |date=14 July 2016 |website=www.olympics.cbc.ca/ |publisher=[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] |access-date=14 July 2016 |archive-date=November 7, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161107052212/http://olympics.cbc.ca/news/article/eric-lamaze-leads-canadian-olympic-equestrian-team-ian-millar-absence.html |url-status=live}}</ref>  As a member of Canada's jumping team, he competed in a climactic jump-off for the bronze medal, which was ultimately won by the German team. Later, he won a bronze medal in the individual jumping event, a single knocked rail preventing him from earning a second gold medal.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/eric-lamaze-wins-bronze-in-equestrian-1.3035566 |title=Eric Lamaze wins bronze in equestrian |date=19 August 2016 |publisher=[[CTV News]] |access-date=1 September 2016 |archive-date=August 21, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160821154331/http://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/eric-lamaze-wins-bronze-in-equestrian-1.3035566 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2017, Lamaze claimed he was diagnosed with [[brain cancer]], which he revealed to the public in 2019.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summer/eric-lamaze-brain-tumour-1.5144875 |title=Olympic show jumping champion Eric Lamaze confirms brain tumour |date=22 May 2019 |work=CBC |access-date=30 December 2019 |archive-date=December 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191221205525/https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summer/eric-lamaze-brain-tumour-1.5144875 |url-status=live}}</ref> He continued competing for some time, winning a gold medal at the Spruce Meadows Masters tournament in June 2019.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/sprucemeadows/spruce-meadows-grand-slam-farrington-guerdat-lamaze-brash-1.5275127 |title=Canada's Eric Lamaze earns gold, silver at Spruce Meadows |date=7 September 2019 |work=CBC |access-date=22 May 2021 |archive-date=26 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210426014456/https://www.cbc.ca/sports/sprucemeadows/spruce-meadows-grand-slam-farrington-guerdat-lamaze-brash-1.5275127 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |agency=The Canadian Press |date=2019-06-09 |title=Canadian show jumping star Lamaze rides on despite brain tumour - TSN.ca |url=https://www.tsn.ca/canadian-show-jumping-star-eric-lamaze-rides-on-despite-brain-tumour-1.1319479 |access-date=2024-05-16 |website=TSN |language=en}}</ref>

He planned to remain as the Canadian showjumping team's chef d'équipe. After announcing his retirement, he said: "I've always said that I will retire under my own terms when the time is right. The situation with my health has forced me to make the decision earlier than I had envisioned, but the silver lining is that I still have the will to win and can contribute to the Canadian team and the sport I love through my new role."<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summer/equestrian/eric-lamaze-announces-retirement-from-show-jumping-1.6403828 |title='I'm crushed': Olympic show jumping champion Eric Lamaze retires as he battles brain cancer |date=31 March 2022 |work=CBC |access-date=31 March 2022 }}</ref>

During a lawsuit in 2023, Lamaze testified his brain cancer, a glioblastoma, had shrunk by 2021, which did free him of brain cancer, leaving him only with throat cancer, despite his claims of having brain cancer at the time.<ref>{{Cite web |title=New Details Emerge In Eric Lamaze Case As Appeal Filed - The Chronicle of the Horse |url=https://www.chronofhorse.com/article/new-details-emerge-in-eric-lamaze-case-as-appeal-filed/ |access-date=2024-05-16 |language=en-US}}</ref>

Citing Lamaze's refusal to undertake drug testing and his forgery of medical documents, the FEI banned Lamaze from competition until September 11, 2027.<ref>{{Cite web |title=FEI Table of Suspensions |url=https://inside.fei.org/system/files/Table%20of%20Suspensions%20-%2027%2005%202024.pdf |access-date=May 27, 2024 |website=Fei.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Showjumping |first=www worldofshowjumping com, World of |title=FEI suspends Eric Lamaze for four years |url=https://www.worldofshowjumping.com/en/News/FEI-suspends-Eric-Lamaze-for-four-years.html |access-date=2024-08-07 |website=www.worldofshowjumping.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

== Legal issues ==
In 2010, Iron Horse Farm brought a suit against Lamaze for misrepresenting horses he sold to the farm. As the case slowly made its way through the court system, evidence emerged suggesting Lamaze had forged his medical history.

=== Forgery of Cancer Documents ===
In August 2023, it was found that Lamaze had forged medical documents submitted to the Ontario Supreme Court.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://horsesport.com/horse-news/lamaze-submits-forged-medical-documents-court/|title=Lamaze Submits Forged Medical Documents to Court |date=6 September 2023 |work=Horse Sport|access-date=6 September 2023 }}</ref><ref name="chronofhorse.com"/><ref>{{Cite news |date=October 11, 2023 |title=Canadian show-jumper Eric Lamaze suspended by FEI for faking documents |url=https://calgarysun.com/sports/canadian-show-jumper-eric-lamaze-suspended-by-fei-for-faking-documents |access-date=16 May 2024 |work=The Calgary Sun}}</ref><!-- the contact page lists an editor, but this looks like two people running an equestrian blog -->

As a result of these findings, Lamaze's lifelong attorney, Tim Danson,  stepped down as counsel.

It is alleged that Lamaze's ongoing cancer and alleged treatments during his career were faked by Lamaze in order to delay and avoid several ongoing court cases brought against Lamaze in relation to horse sale disputes.

In order to dismiss this allegation that his cancer and health issues are entirely faked, Lamaze would need to produce reliable medical evidence to prove his claims.  Lamaze has publicly declined to do so, stating in an 11 September 2023 article:

{{Blockquote|They want a doctor’s note; have they seen me? People were telling me to go home, every day for years, as I was so sick. People who have never seen me and don’t know, believe what they see online. I’ve always spoken the truth and will continue to.}}

Lamaze has said he was unaware of letters and documents submitted to the court and cited issues such as data protection relating to his medical records, and the need to protect people who have treated him.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/eric-lamaze-cancer-court-case-837641|title= Former Olympic champion Eric Lamaze maintains he's had cancer despite judge's doubts|last=Jones|first=Eleanor|website=Horse & Hound|date=11 September 2023|access-date=13 March 2024}}</ref>

In a Florida lawsuit from November 2023, the judge ruled that Lamaze's conduct to obfuscate his medical condition was fraudulent and deliberate.<ref>{{Cite web |title=New Details Emerge In Eric Lamaze Case As Appeal Filed - The Chronicle of the Horse |url=https://www.chronofhorse.com/article/new-details-emerge-in-eric-lamaze-case-as-appeal-filed/ |access-date=2024-05-15 |language=en-US}}</ref> Lamaze was found liable for $1.4 million in damages for fraud, breach of contract, and breaking Florida law, related to the purchase and sale of two horses.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Judge Rules Lamaze Owes $1.4M For Fraud - The Chronicle of the Horse |url=https://www.chronofhorse.com/article/judge-rules-lamaze-owes-1-4m-for-fraud/ |access-date=2024-05-16 |language=en-US}}</ref>

After nearly 15 years in the court system, in August 2024, a Canadian court found in support of Iron Horse Farm, who brought suit against Lamaze for misrepresenting horses he later sold to the farm. The court ordered Lamaze to return the money for the horse sales, as well as to cover damages and court costs, totaling $786,000.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Canadian Olympian Eric Lamaze owes nearly $800K following latest court ruling - National {{!}} Globalnews.ca |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/10702827/eric-lamaze-lawsuit-ontario-ruling/ |access-date=2024-09-14 |website=Global News |language=en-US}}</ref> Iron Horse Farm said they did not expect Lamaze would be in a position to pay back the farm for their damages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Horse-Dealing Legal Troubles Snowball For Eric Lamaze - The Chronicle of the Horse |url=https://www.chronofhorse.com/article/horse-dealing-legal-troubles-snowball-for-eric-lamaze/ |access-date=2024-09-14 |language=en-US}}</ref>
