    Found guilty of taking a prohibited substance.

    Back in time to ride in the Derby and Oaks if anyone wants him though.

    Just listened to the horrible anti Irish Mc Cririck on TalkSport.Remember when Fallon was banned for similar offence Mc Cririck tore Fallon to shreads also saying he should be banned for life.He just said Frankie has been hard done by and he said the penalty is too harsh for the offence and its non performing enhansing.Frankie is and has been under hugh pressure riding all these top horses and dieting to extremes.He licked Dettories arse big time.Richard Keys has just said that he thinks" John may have just gone over the top on his defence of Frankie".Mc Cririck is one fu..ing boll....

    It's actually quite strange that the substance hasn't been categorically stated somewhere

    A 6 month ban for a flat jockey at this time of year is a bit of a joke. What's he going to miss after dubai world cup, 2000 guineas etc. compared to what he might miss during the summer. He's got away lightly compared to other jockeys.

    Actually that's a valid point.
    I'd go as far as saying the ban should kick in at the official start of the British flat season... ?

    Flat racings a 12 month game now even in the Northern hemisphere.

    Anyway, if the ban didn't kick in until April and Frankie won a dozen Grp1s in Australia in the meantime, then that wouldn't look great either.

    That's what he gets for not sharing the coke with him..maybe they would have understood his position if he gave them a line

    Whatever people think of Frankie, he's still one of the best big-race jockeys in the business. I just hope this hasn't scuppered his chances of riding for Coolmore next season. Give me Frankie any day over Joseph O'Brien.
