The equations of motion for matter in non-Riemannian spacetimes are derived
via a multipole method. It is found that only test bodies with microstructure
couple to the non-Riemannian spacetime geometry. Consequently it is impossible
to detect spacetime torsion with the satellite experiment Gravity Probe B,
contrary to some recent claims in the literature.
