Tierney warned off for eight years over ringer
Tierney is already serving a six-year ban for a similar offence and following his attempt to run Max’N Limbo in place of an unregistered hunter at Staintondale point-to-point in April 2006, he has been warned off for a further five years.
However, the British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel have decided to allow three years of the suspension to run concurrently with a further two-year ban imposed.
The horse’s owner and former National Hunt rider Roger Marley was also implicated in the case and he has been warned off for two and a half years.
