Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 13, 2021 Journalists Posted August 13, 2021 French champion jockey Pierre-Charles Boudot has had a three-month ban by France Galop stewards extended a further six months as he faces rape charges. Boudot, 28, was charged on May 12 for the Feb. 27 rape of a 25-year-old female work rider in Cagnes-sur-Mer. Also implicated is fellow jockey Pierre Bazire, who was charged in May with failing to prevent and report a crime. Bazire's suspension has likewise been extended six more months. Boudot, whose legal team has denied the allegations, had been previously accused of rape in 2018, but those allegation did not result in charges. A statement from France Galop released on Friday read, “Although these two jockeys remain presumed innocent, in view of the ongoing criminal proceedings to which they are still the subject, the seriousness of the alleged facts and their damage to the image of racing, the commissioners have suspended, as a precautionary measure and for a period of six months, their authorisation to ride.” The post Boudot Banned Six More Months appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
