TIM Brennan was acquitted of any wrongdoing following a case heard by the Independent Disciplinary Panel of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) earlier this week.

The BHA case was that Brennan had provided his brother with information concerning the wellbeing or otherwise of Faugheen and that this could be used to lay the Willie Mullins-trained star for the 2016 Cheltenham Champion Hurdle. That race was more than two years ago. In summary, they were alleging that cheating took place.
