Twelve-Month Ban For Farrier Farrier Michael McAteer was made a disqualified person for 12 months at an appeal hearing before the Stewards of the Governing Bodies at the Curragh yesterday. He appealed against a penalty imposed by the Appeals and Referrals Committee in April after an inquiry into the running of Carapuncha in unrecognised meetings in 2004. The committee had made him a disqualified person, with a recommendation that this should be for at least two years. His 12-month ban starts today.(C) PA Sport
