Posted on Sunday, December 17th, 2006
British jockey Kieren Fallon has been suspended by France Galop, the French racing authority, for testing positive for a prohibited substance.
Doctors found the substance metabolite in Fallon’s system in November, and although the quantity was described as “exceedingly low,” it was still enough to classify it as a strict liability offense.
Fallon’s attorney, Christopher Stewart-Moore, noted that over the course of his career Fallon’s tests have always been negative.
Nonetheless, Fallon’s six-month ban began Dec. 7. He is also banned in Britain and has been charged with conspiracy to defraud Betfair customers.
