    Welcome, Melissa. Haven’t seen the details of this – what are they? And what are your thoughts on it?

    Maybe he just wants a cheeky summer holiday

    He could just employ Barry Geraghty’s legal team and not serve any ban ;-)

    Johnson has picked up four whip bans, each of 2 days, since 30 April. A fifth offence before the end of October will see him referred to the BHA who, according to the rules, would likely further ban him for between 14 & 60 days.

    Given that his four bans occurred within seven weeks, I wouldn’t bet on RJ staying clean during the next 19 weeks.

    Thanks- similar to Seasider’s but hopefully can be avoided.

    Will be posting articles I think users might like as I go :yes:
