So if there is a bent element, should we just accept it, or rid them from the sport? Hopefully the BHA will be able rid the likes of Lynch from the sport for good.
BTW, is it wrong to still be laughing at the bit where Bennett kicks Kenyon in the air?
Agree on both accounts – as well as his "eviction" from the pub wgich was equally good.
What does strike me as odd is the BBC can get access to the CPS and Police Recordings, presumably under an FOI request, yet it seems the BHA cannot obtain access – something appears to be inherantly wrong there.
The BHA still have the powers to acts where the City of London Police don’t. I hope they take the correct course.
If there isn’t sufficient evidence to warn-off ‘Little’ Fergal "missed a winner" Lynch for life after that, then the BHA Security department should call it a day as they clearly have no real worth.
” Dodgy geezers ” and ” bent elements ” ? Some of them work for the
BBC .Ofcom , it was reported today , fined the BBC £ 400,000 because
“The BBC deceived its audience by faking winners of competitions and deliberately conducting competitions unfairly,” Ofcom said.
Viewers were urged to call some BBC programmes after contestants had already been chosen.
Other shows had been pre-recorded, so nobody could win apparently “live” competitions.

Sorry, I thought that there was inside information in EVERY race.
Silly me. It’s only SOME.

The fact that the HRA arrange a seminar on inside information – purely for jockeys – says everything about whom they’d like to be the scapegoat for racings integrity problems.
firefox, do you believe Lynch lost races on purpose ? Yes or no?
I know the question is aimed at Firefox but I suppose it depends what "standard" you set it against.
In the criminal standard of "beyond all reasonable doubt" then it could be difficult to prove.
In the civil standard of "balance of probability" then I would say from the limited excerpt we have heard then possibly yes.
However without hearing the full conversation with all of Lynch’s side it is difficult to say – for example are the quotes used in Panorama used in the correct context or have they been taken out of context?
That is my major gripe with this program – nothing in it has been put into any context.
After day one of the test match I would wonder if some England players hit the lay button on the England win market

Incorrect.
Yes, seminars have been held covering this subject, but they have been made available to the racing industry as a whole, not just jockeys.
