    Years ago French tennis player Richard Gasquet test positive for cocaine and said it was because he kissed a girl at a party. It’s possible to test positive from the shift

    Ah lads c'mon, we all know the reputation jockeys have for being head cases. He definitely did it.

    I don't care that he did but no need to be tying yourself up in knots trying to excuse it.

    As pointed out earlier it's not the first time he's been caught out for something either so hopefully he takes it on the chin and learns to be smarter.

    " if you touch an area repeatedly for a few hours "

    he should get banned for making that statement alone.

    Filthy dirty Bazza.

    Do you mean he had 5mg of cocaine in his blood? That is a completely different thing. Impossible to scientifically know how much someone has taken, same as a drink driving result.

    Edit I meant piss and 5mg would be huge anyway. What report are you on about?

    Seems like such a weak explanation.

    If he gets caught again though, he will have the book thrown at him.

    Fair play to him though for showing the level of restraint he did?

    It cannot be easy being a top international jockey and hanging around with coke heads and not doing any.

    If anything he has showed some serious resolve, it is admirable really.

    First it was someone he slept with

    Now it's from a table or something

    He will say he was spiked next.

    No he won't - thats just you wanting to believe everyone is a coke fiend

    I couldn't care less if he is or not. This denying it is just embarassing. He's gone from flat out denials, to sexual cross contamination, to surface contamination. Laughable

    In my opinion I am inclined to believe him. It would be crazy to come out and do this interview and have it on record maintaining your innocence if you were guilty.
    It would be too risky as the truth would surely come out if he was guilty. Someone would have a video or WatsApp pic or the like which would look worse for him if leaked after claiming innocence.
    Admitting his guilt originally would be more forgiving than have that happen....

    "But do I have a paranoia about going down the road for dinner with my friends? No, I don't. No one has ever seen me take cocaine so I hope that people who know me very well won't start thinking that every time I'm out for a meal, I'm having a massive night."

    Sure ya dont use cocaine?
