Don't count your chickens.
It's now been revealed that Fallon actually has a drugs ban shadowing him (again).
Apparently Fallon failed a drugs test at Deauville sometime in August and they are now awaiting the B sample (which takes a long time in France for some reason).
If the B sample comes back positive, Fallon could expect at least an 18 month ban.
Both Fallon and Coolmore are supposedly well aware of this. A few people have noticed that Coolmore haven't actually been as supposrtive in some of their statements yesterday as they could have been.
I'm not saying the B sample will come back positive, but the reports are saying that he definitely failed the first test when riding in France earlier this year.
