    Jim Best conviction to be quashed according to The Guardian.

    Turns out a member of the “independent” disciplinary panel wasn’t so independent after all.

    BHA described as an ‘utter shambles’ after it emerges that the PJA had raised concerns to them about Matthew Lohn’s participation in disciplinary hearings over a year ago.
    Apparently the BHA dismissed those concerns.
    Can hardly be described as a ‘legacy issue’ I’d suggest.

    No, “utter shambles” sounds nearer the mark

    Surely Rust has to go at this point.

    Bad idea. Rust has been very good so far.

    How? Todays headline from Dave Yates “Is there no end to BHA blunders?”

    So apart from giving accreditation to some bookmakers, none of whom lay 2 bananas to banana and not giving accreditation to others, none of whom lay 2 bananas to a banana, what has he actually achieved?
