Fallon awaits fate after drugs hearing held in Paris

KIEREN Fallon yesterday appeared before the French racing authorities following his failed drugs test last August.

A France Galop hearing considered the case of the six-time champion jockey, whose B-test sample confirmed the original positive test for a banned substance.

The hearing was held at France Galop’s headquarters at Boulogne-Billan court in Paris.

Fallon failed the test after Myboycharlie’s success in the Group One Darley Prix Morny at Deauville on August 19.

The 41-year-old jockey, who served a six-month suspension imposed by France Galop for testing positive for a metabolite of cocaine in June 2006, will be informed of any possible subsequent punishment at a future date.

Fallon was recently acquitted along with five others of conspiracy to defraud Betfair customers by a jury at the Old Bailey.
