Champion jockey Oisín Murphy cannot reapply for his licence for a total of 14 months after admitting to breaking Covid rules, misleading the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), and prejudicial conduct, plus two alcohol breaches.

The rider faced an independent judiciary panel on Tuesday in relation to breaking Covid protocols in September 2020, and two failed tests for alcohol in May and October of 2021 — as well as one charge of "acting in a manner which is prejudicial to the proper integrity, conduct and good reputation of the sport".
