Racing: Kieren Fallon will not be allowed to continue riding in Britain after being charged as part of a police investigation into alleged race-fixing.
Fellow jockeys Fergal Lynch and Darren Williams, who have also been charged with conspiracy to defraud Betfair customers, will also not be allowed to ride in Britain until after the result of any trial.
The three riders this morning appeared before a special panel at the Horseracing Regulatory Authority's headquarters in London.
Fallon, Williams and Lynch were three of 11 people charged by the City Of London Police on Monday. Trainer Alan Berry is the other individual licensed by the HRA to have been charged.
Today's hearing found that Fallon should be prohibited from riding in Britain on his Irish licence "until the conclusion of the trial or further orders".
The HRA panel's decision means Fallon will miss out on his ride in Saturday's Coral-Eclipse at Sandown, where he was set to partner the Aidan O'Brien-trained Aussie Rules.
The panel, chaired by HRA board director Sir Michael Connell, also found that Lynch and Williams should not be granted licences "until the conclusion of their trial or further orders".
In a statement issued on Fallon's behalf by his solicitors, BCL Burton Copeland, the rider said: "I am obviously devastated by the HRA decision.
"I always thought that a man was innocent until proved guilty.
"I cannot understand this decision as I am confident that I have done nothing wrong, and my lawyers are confident that the case against me has no validity whatsoever.
"In fact I am utterly amazed the police were able to charge me based on the evidence I have seen and the questions that they have been asking me this year.
"My livelihood is dependent upon racing and I will be appealing against this decision as it is extremely harsh and inconsistent given the HRA panel's verdict on Alan Berry published earlier this week.
"I am grateful for the support I have received from many trainers and owners around the world.
"However, unless my suspension is lifted my career is in ruins as I cannot ask owners or trainers to support me elsewhere when I am prevented from riding in the UK."
