JOCKEYS Leigh Roche and Eoin Staples have each been handed a 21-day suspension and fined €1,000 apiece for providing positive alcohol samples before their intended rides at this year’s Galway Festival.

The sanctions were decided at an Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) referral hearing on Tuesday morning, overseen by the referrals committee panel of Laurence McFerran (chair), Michael Sheahan and Nick Wachman.
