Banned Fenton ‘less than truthful’

Philip Fenton appeared to be "less than truthful and uncooperative", according to a Turf Club report detailing the trainer’s disciplinary hearing at the weekend.

Fenton was called before officials on Saturday after being found guilty of possessing anabolic steroids and other banned substances at a district court hearing in Carrick-on-Suir last month.

The Turf Club banned him for three years following the hearing, although Fenton lodged an appeal against the severity of the suspension on Tuesday.
