Doubts raised over police surveillance of Fallon

DOUBTS were raised yesterday over police surveillance in the alleged betting scam involving six-time champion jockey Kieren Fallon.

Officers keeping a watch on key players missed Fallon getting into a car from Leicester racecourse driven by syndicate boss Miles Rodgers in May 2004, the Old Bailey was told.

It is alleged that Fallon and Rodgers, along with four other defendants, conspired between December 2002 and September 2004 to defraud Betfair customers and other punters.
