Irish jockey Luke McGuinness has been handed a four year ban from horse racing after testing positive for cocaine for a third time.
McGuinness tested positive in Limerick in December and had only returned to racing after being caught taking the drug in January of last year and has been handed the ban from a referrals committee of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board.
The Irish jockey had previously been handed a hefty six year ban after his second offence but was able to return to the track sooner after meeting strict terms but will not be able to apply for his licence until the beginning of 2026.
