Christophe Soumillon, who is currently serving a two-month suspension for elbowing fellow jockey Rossa Ryan off his mount earlier this year, will not serve a lengthier ban, after France's Gaming Police opted not to pursue their inquiry into the matter, Jour de Galop reported on Thursday.

Stephane Piallat, who leads the Gaming Police, told JDG, “We have taken into account the explanations of Christophe Soumillon. He reassured us that he was not at risk for disturbing the public order if he returned to competitive riding. So it's a no-cost warning. He understands that his behavior was becoming problematic, and that he needs to modify it in the future.”

Soumillon told the JDG that he was relieved by the news, but that he would not speak publicly on the matter at this time.
