BHA: Dettori return delayed

Frankie Dettori may have to delay his return to the saddle after the British Horseracing Authority said it has yet to issue his licence.

The 42-year-old had planned to return to action at Leicester on Monday after serving a six-month ban for testing positive for cocaine at Longchamp following a race last September.

However, confusion has reigned over his status with France Galop, throwing his plans into disarray, with the BHA insisting it has not received the necessary clearance.
