GUY Cherel, a multiple Grade 1-winning jumps trainer also successful in group races on the flat, was arrested on Monday and has been questioned by police on suspicion of treating his horses with illegal drugs.
After going in front of a judge on Tuesday evening, he was granted bail but the precise nature of his suspected misdemeanours remains unknown – Cherel’s lawyer, Florence Gaudilliere, has refused to reveal any details. The unusual part of the investigation is that it is being undertaken by the police rather than France-Galop.
