Ex-jockey fined for racial comments must visit

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) wanted to determine if the reported comments at a Gloucestershire event prejudiced racing's "good reputation".

The original hearing was postponed on 3 April to allow Llewellyn's solicitor more time to prepare his case.

Llewellyn had faced a maximum three-year ban from the sport before being given the fine.

The authority said the alleged comments were made at The Hollow Bottom pub in Guiting Power on 10 March.

Llewellyn, from Wantage in Oxfordshire, has ridden more than 500 winners to date, including five at Cheltenham's National Hunt Festival.

He triumphed on Party Politics in the 1992 Grand National and won the race again six years later riding Earth Summit.

Mourinho fined and warned over conduct must visit

Mourinho walked on to the Villa Park pitch to speak to referee Chris Foy after Chelsea's Ramires was dismissed.

He denied an improper conduct charge but it was proven at a personal hearing with an independent regulatory commission on Wednesday.

"I don't know why I was sent off," Mourinho said after the match.

"I asked, but the referee refused to speak to me."

Mourinho was critical of Foy after the game at Villa Park as Chelsea's lead at the top of the Premier League was reduced to four points.

Ramires was shown a straight red card for a two-footed tackle on Villa's Karim El Ahmadi, an incident that sparked a touchline fracas.

Mourinho claimed he was trying to speak to Foy because Ramires was pushed by Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor, who had been substituted.
