Shocked Cian wants to tell ‘the truth’

Cian O’Connor Statement 10th, October 9pm:

Following my statement on Friday October 8th, I have today, Sunday 10th October, had the chance to discuss in detail with my vet, the positive test taken from my Olympic horse.

As my vet, Mr Sheeran explains, it is his standard procedure to give a mild sedative to a horse during a period of rest and recuperation. This is purely in the best interests of the horse, so that it will not be too fresh and further injure itself, and in no way enhances or improves performance.
