REUTERS: Organisers of the Saudi Cup, the world's richest horse race, have said they will withhold the US$20 million prize purse pending the completion of an internal investigation after winning trainer Jason Servis was indicted in a doping scheme.

The Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia said in a statement that its investigation into Servis had been slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. "The JCSA is conducting its own investigation into the allegations and until that is concluded, will withhold payment of prize money to all connections of horses placed in prize-winning positions."The decision has been communicated privately to connections of Saudi Cup runners. Due to difficult operational circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the investigation is not yet concluded.
