Kieren Fallon first, toffs and snobs a poor last (The Times)

I have a piece in today's Times about the acquittal of Kieren Fallon on Friday. Here's the gist of it:

My interpretation of the farce that ended on Friday is that the racing authorities started from the presumption that the chavs involved in racing are bent and that, because Kieren Fallon was their bête noire, ergo Fallon was bent and had to go. And so they cobbled together smears and circumstantial evidence to bring him down. That, of course, says more about the unfitness for their jobs of the disciplinary authorities than it says anything about Kieren Fallon.
