I thought you was referring to me and the two stooges that went to Cheltenham.

Lol, i can see how benzos would be banned. reckon they'd make jockeys braver.

Not funny guys, we get treated like pish by the racing community , as soon as a punter asks for a tip or moans about a ride they are on us like pack of fuckwits

What these donuts forget is there is more punters that are owners than there are owners that are not punters FACT!

And the rest of their wages are made up from punters that can't afford to own because of drunk trainers

.....so sad that in today's age with increased drug testing that these guys cant get to the work place without chemical assistance......drink was always a problem back in the day....but has no place on the job.....nor is sniffing the cat and popping chill pills to take off the edge....
hard being a jock but looking to get mindless in order to do a job is not on.....they endanger the lives fellow riders and horses... :blink:

He`s probably pleaded guilty to the charge, because he was positive

His complaint is that it was Dr Mcreedy that gave him the script

FYI it was the same week a family member died, he had a neck spasm and was prescribed pain killers and a sleeping tablet

the urine test was a few days later

Thank you for the comments but please rather find out the reasons before passing comment (pissed - buzzing and chilled). Jockey Sampson had a family bereavement and he had hurt his neck in the parade ring from a horse all in a period of a few days. He was given a script from the course doctor. You cant plead not guilty if it is in your system and that is why he plead guilty. Please think before you comment as your smirky comments are not needed
