Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 27, 2020 Journalists Share Posted November 27, 2020 Jockey Oisin Murphy has been banned from race riding for three months by France Galop stewards as a result of a positive test this summer for cocaine metabolites. The ban will run Dec. 11, 2020 to Mar. 11, 2021. Murphy had released a statement on Oct. 1 revealing the news of the positive sample, which had been taken on July 19, the card on which he rode The Lir Jet (Ire) (Prince of Lir {Ire}) to finish second in the G2 Prix Robert Papin. Murphy said at that time, “I have never taken cocaine in my life and will fight to clear my name. I want to thank those who are supporting me and in the meantime I want to keep riding winners and focus on my career.” The post Oisin Murphy Banned Three Months appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
