Jockey Club abandon Fallon disrepute hearing

KIEREN FALLON will not have to face a Jockey Club inquiry into whether he brought racing into disrepute over articles published in the News Of The World.

The Jockey Club has decided not to proceed with the disciplinary inquiry, which also concerned fellow rider John Egan, after consultation with its legal advisers.

Club spokesman John Maxse said yesterday: “We no longer consider that there is sufficient evidence to merit a disciplinary hearing.”
