The reputation of racing's governing body?

No Chance with all due respect why should i give a flying f**k about them when they are intentionally trying to destroy him?

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!!

I said the same thing about Tony Culhane and Fergal Lynch....... i was like "they aren't that stupid"..... turns out they were. Greed can get the better of anyone.

I'm not saying he is guilty at all, and i'm no lawyer, but 40,000 pages of evidence against him doesn't look good, does it.

I will never forget the Ballinger Ridge ride. I wish i could find a replay.

I'd like to say he isn't stupid enough to get involved in this, but at the moment i will be honest and say i'm really not sure.

... and what exactly is their so-called evidence?

Betting patterns, telephone records between him and professional gamblers, video evidence of rides he has given that look far from Fallon-like, telephone records of ocnversations with already banned people (including jockeys) and i imagine much more.

There is a lot there, mmsc.

Before the exchanges, and a changing in the law most of these things were almost impossible to get hold of until about five years ago.

Now that all this information is possible to get hold of it is understandable that they want to fight corruption now that they have the means to do so.

You can't blame them for doing that.
