Two plus two generally equals four, but it doesn t seem to when you look at the history of jockey betting bans.
SOMETHING DOESN’T ADD UP
Ben Melham was disqualified for five months for betting offences and giving false evidence, Damien Oliver was outed for eight months for backing a rival horse while Adam Hyeronimus was thrown out for three years for betting offences and providing false evidence. His appeal will be handed down in the new year.
I was only fair at mathematics but the numbers don’t seem to add up to me.
I realise each case is different but it’s a case of either two of the sentences are ridiculously light or one is very harsh or a mixture of both.
