Darren Egan receives 12-year suspension

The British Horseracing Authority has handed ex-jockey Darren Egan a 12-year ban.

The governing body has dished out the punishment following the news last November that the 24-year-old had been found guilty of corruption charges.

Dating back to July 2013, it was established that Egan had deliberately lost races at Chepstow and Bath.

As a result, Egan will be suspended from the sport until November 22, 2027.

Philip Langford, who made a profit of £53,560 from stakes totalling £838,870 due to Egan's offences, was given an exclusion order.
