Mitchell faces BHA hearing
An inquiry will be held into the sample of urine provided by Mitchell at Newmarket on May 28 this year.
The sample was found to contain benzoylecgonine, a diagnostic metabolite of cocaine and a banned substance.
In a statement issued through his solicitor, Christopher Stewart-Moore, Mitchell said: “I accept the findings of the BHA’s Medical Committee unreservedly.
“I acknowledge that my actions which led to me testing positive for a metabolite of cocaine were unacceptable as well as foolish.
“I am extremely sorry for letting down those trainers who have supported me in the past and who continue to support me.”
