Darcy fails breath test

MICHAEL DARCY missed four rides at Limerick yesterday, having failed an alcohol breath test prior to racing.

The stewards received a report from Al Guy, doping control officer, who stated that shortly after 2pm Darcy had shown to be positive for alcohol in a screening test.

At 2.20 two further breath tests indicated readings of 43 and 42, both over the limit of 35. Darcy accepted Guy’s evidence.
