Dettori has licence suspended

Frankie Dettori has indicated he will not be riding anywhere in the world until the French stewards announce their judgement over his positive test for a banned substance.

The 41-year-old has been temporarily suspended from competing in France on medical grounds after making his representation via conference call in front of a medical committee at the Paris headquarters of the French racing authority, France Galop, on Tuesday.

The file has been handed on to the French stewards, who will make their decision within a fortnight.
