Champion jockey Oisin Murphy has had a drugs ban reduced to three months by the French racing authorities after he claimed the cocaine contamination was via sexual contact

Oisin Murphy, Britain’s champion jockey, has been given a three-month suspension following his positive test for cocaine after riding in France in July, three months shorter than bans served by Frankie Dettori and Kieren Fallon for the same offence in the past, after telling a disciplinary hearing that the positive was due to “environmental contamination”, apparently via sexual contact with a user of the Class A drug.
