absolutely ridiculous that they lifted this ban.
It's not, actually. He hasn't been convicted yet, and until he is, it's innocent until proven guilty. Essentially the judge is saying you can't take away the man's livelihood on the basis of an accusation (damning as that accusation may be).

Of course, seeing as how jockeys are independent contractors, there's no law saying anyone has to hire him.
