Kieren Fallon has failed in his final appeal against the 18-month worldwide ban he received from France Galop in January for a second positive drugs test.The six-times champion jockey from Ballinraun made one last attempt to three judges d’appel, who are members of a 15-strong panel of experienced racing professionals, in Paris last week.
Fallon incurred the suspension after testing positive for a banned substance following his winning ride aboard Sue Magnier’s Myboycharlie in the Prix Morny at Deauville on August 19. He only began riding in early June after completing a six-month ban for another positive test.
