You don't do this. You don't try to ruin someone.

Excerpt.....
The case against Fallon must be seen in the context of that 10-year battle against corruption. Put simply, there are those among racing's ruling elite who would welcome a successful prosecution as not only would it offer further evidence that they are winning the war but that nobody -- least of all a multiple champion jockey -- is beneath their radar. The time and money expended during the course of the decade would be more than justified.

But there is deep unease too in racing circles at how the case has proceeded. Should the charges against Fallon be dismissed -- as he and his legal team believe -- then questions will surely be asked of the decision of the Horseracing Regularatry Authority to suspend the jockey after he was charged with conspiracy to defraud in July last year. There are those of the belief that the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise, so central to British justice, was suspended in Fallon's case.


So what... convict him to prove that they "are winning the war"?

He should not be the fall guy, he doesn't deserve to be crucified.

Questions will be asked if the charges are dismissed? Damned right they should be.

They have no decency.

Shame on them.

**** them.

Regardless of what happens to Keiren, if I ever am in a bit of a spot, I would love to have you on my side.

Wow!!
