Jockeys Greg Fairley, Paul Doe, Jimmy Quinn and Kirsty Milczarek were all disqualified from racing following the publication of a lengthy investigation into alleged corruption by the British Horseracing Authority.

By far the heaviest punishment went to Fairley and Doe, both of whom quit riding earlier in the year, as they were handed bans of 12 years each, while Milczarek will be banned for two years and Quinn six months.

Milczarek intends to appeal against the findings, while Quinn, a veteran of the weighing room, does not. The jockeys were found by the BHA disciplinary panel to have been involved in a betting ring masterminded by two registered owners, Maurice Sines and James Crickmore, from charges relating to 10 races between January 17, 2009 and August 15, 2009.

Sines and Crickmore were each disqualified for 14 years and there were punishments for five other accomplices.

Former jockey Paul Fitzsimons, now a trainer, was found not guilty. Tweet
