Ex-jockey Darren Egan hit with 12-year ban

Former jockey Darren Egan has been suspended from racing for 12 years.

Egan was found guilty of corruption charges last November but the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has now published details of the length of his ban.

The Longford man, a former leading apprentice, was found to have engaged in a conspiracy with unlicensed individual Philip Langford, who at the time was given an immediate exclusion order which will remain in place for at least the next 15 years.
