Statement Issued On Behalf Of Mr Kieren Fallon I am obviously devastated by the HRA decision. I always thought that a man was innocent until proved guilty. I cannot understand this decision as I am confident that I have done nothing wrong, and my lawyers are confident that the case against me has no validity whatsoever. In fact I am utterly amazed the police were able to charge me based on the evidence I have seen and the questions that they have been asking me this year. My livelihood is dependent upon racing and I will be appealing against this decision as it is extremely harsh and inconsistent given the HRA panel?s verdict on Alan Berry published earlier this week. I am grateful for the support I have received from many trainers and owners around the world. However, unless my suspension is lifted my career is in ruins as I cannot ask owners or trainers to support me elsewhere when I am prevented from riding in the UK.
