In a statement, the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, said: “We consider that a suspension of Mr Elliott’s training licence is merited.
“In all of the circumstances of this case, to reflect the seriousness of the offence and the damage to the Irish racing industry, to deter other offences of this nature and having taken into account the mitigating factors we have heard we consider the period should be 12 months however the last six months of this will be suspended.”
