The BHA and the Police

[NoChanceToDance]

Disgrace.

Absolute disgrace.

They have wasted everyone's time.

Good bye Paul Scotney, Good by the directors of the BHA.

The case has collapsed after much of the evidence was 'left behind'.

The tax payer and racing authorities will have to pay the bill for this court case. I won't be the only one to say that our racing governing bodies are just inept.

As the weeks went on, the police and Jockey Club officials began to change statements and 'notebooks were left behind'

This is going to have serious issues on the running of our racing. Surely there will have to be a major re think from the top.

I have to say that i am gobsmacked that Mile Rodgers was allowed to walk free after the eivdence was found against him.

I must say, i am still pretty sure that some wrong doing has taken place, but the evidence wasn't there in the end. At the start, it all looked very strong but it soon died away.

This doesn't mean that Fallon and co will be allowed to ride in Britain though. Fallon has still broken the rules and will probably have to serve a ban for the rules that have been broken. Don't forget that we currently have jockeys banned for far less serious offences.

It was always going to be a no win situation for racing as a whole whatever the outcome. There are many people (including me) disgusted with the authorities after this. Who are we to trust now? Has it been the authorities that have been at the heart of the corruption?

I will apologise for ever doubting Fallon in this case, the eivdence to begin with looked very strong against him. I still believe there was some wrong doing that took place between these men, but we will never know for sure. I am very surprised Miles Rodgers has walked free though.

That is not to say that he won't be warned off racing.
