Agree with all that it, the detail on his failure level versus spec in other juristictions would be interesting

Yeah, im not letting murphy off the hook, i just don't see anything wrong with asking questions about it. The threshold in Ireland and the UK is 150 ng per ml. That is considered a small amount (in the us i think it's 300), so small that some years back the French tennis player Richard Gasquet was able to successfully argue that he'd got contaminated from kissing his girlfriend after testing positive for 150ng! I'd just be interested to know what the level is.

You could have a situation where a jockey would test positive in one jurisdiction but not in another and yet faces a ban in them all. Just doesn't seem ideal, really.

you'd think they'd all be signed up to a wada limit but apparently not

Well, if you hang around with Matt Chapman enough some of it is bound to transfer at some point.............

That's a very serious accusation Roger.

I actually doubt that Chapman is too much of a gannet for it in fairness, he seems too honest. Most cokeheads I know are chunts and as much of a pain in the arse ITV have got him to portray himself as... I don't get the impression he is a coke fiend, I know a few and frankly he does not fit the profile. He is a bit on the spectrum.. but I would let him date my family for starters, underneath it all he appears harmless enough.

Jockeys are too busy with everything to be harmless, it is a rough game and far too much money involved, which makes his phuck up all the more stupid.

We are so blessed to have someone so wise and worldly posting regularly here!!

Sad to see. There's so much good quality scotch out there you have to wonder why these lads turn to cocaine. How long will he banned for?

Great timing for young Fallon..... Very good timing all things considered.

Nothing compliments a good scotch like a good line of cocaine.

artanevilla

Scotch isn't an appetite suppressant.

IAMAMORON

I tell you chunts one thing, my death row meal will include a cask of Irish and a heap a banger, for starters. Nessun Dorma. And a box a major. Probably request a Dart board to flick at a poster a ruby Walsh dressed up in a pair of green Paddy Pooer Y fronts.

I love Tony.

Ban reduced to 3 months - https://www.racingpost.com/news/latest/oisin-murphy-escapes-with-three-month-ban-after-french-cocaine-positive-upheld/460873

The dual champion jockey, who will not be appealing against the decision, would ordinarily have been looking at a six-month suspension, but the stewards were persuaded by a combination of evidence from a hair test and Murphy's own testimony that he was contaminated after having sex with a person he later discovered to be a user.

IAMAMORON

At least he admitted to getting a decent ride ......

sorry:o I will grab me coat eh Taxi for one please?

Francie Barrett

I think I was wrong on this. I am a fairly adventurous person, but I really struggle to see how cocaine use can be transferred through sex. I am too old to be familiar with all this, but I imagine for cocaine to be transferable, you'd need the lady in question to be rubbing a whole load of it into her gums before lobbing the gob on you.

I could be wrong of course. I just do not know enough.

I doubt poor Oisín was thinking too clearly himself at the time.

He is a great pilot and like us all his mistakes are there to learn from.

There would be nothing stopping me when I am riding a good one, everyone is the same. Life is there to be enjoyed, enough said in fairness.

It's the common go to excuse with athletes. Richard Gasquet the tennis player was due to be banned a year until he said he caught it off a wan he was mauling the face off in a nightclub. Tennis has a real see no evil attitude towards drugs though. If Serena or Federer or Nadal popped for steroids they could say they tripped and fell on a needle down an alleyway and they'd get away with it.

Golf has done the same on a few occasions, not good for the image, drugs are only used by poor people don't you know!

Did the B sample ever come back? Amazing all the talk about it how it would clear his name and then nothing.

Robbie Downey not too pleased on twitter that he got six months and oisin got three.

Not a doubt in my mind Oisin took it. Absolutely laughable that by denying it enough he got s lighter sentence

Joe_ Public

I'd imagine Robbie Downey will be feeling a bit peeved they accepted Murphy's hair test as mitigating evidence. It's one rule for some, he may well be thinking.

Easily transferable through shifting

Once you snort it , you can feel it in the back of your throat

Also plenty of people rub what residue is left on their gums or lick the bag .

I believe him , I know many dont

I'm long enough in the tooth now to cop a coke user , and hes not one of them

Peintre Celebre

Naive comment. Look at your doctor, your solicitor, your post man. Good chance one of them is a coke user.

I love wearing the face off birds when I am off me chopperooneys..... everyone does. Ce n’est qu’en connaissant la vérité qu’un homme peut la nier.

I believe him, if he said he didn't do it then he didn't. None of us were there?

Dirty French coke snorting slag of a thing I would say she was? Une Pute Sale.

I never thought of that?

Wow.

He should spend the 3 months looking for a decent broodmare, he could call her Snowdownsouth.

I have no idea if he did or didn't
We all just accept these grown men making 10 stone to ride a horse, less even
We just accept they make sacrifices we wouldn't dream of making. They all smoke like chimneys, they go days without food.
If a fellah has a bag a week to keep him sane, then I will not be one to judge
It doesn't improve performance so feck it

Best excuse I have ever heard.

The smirk on Nick Luck yesterday morning was side splitting.

"l’invention est la mère de l’espoir, dans chaque misère"

I definitely believe him, it is obvious what went on now. Those french birds are total slappers. They should know better than to be going around getting wired and then getting giggidity with good honest to jaysus jockeys. Une putes béante.
