Irish jockey Oisin Murphy has been given a 14-month ban and fined more than €37,000 for a series of rule breaches.

The British champion jockey has been banned for 11 months after admitting to breaking rules covering Covid-19, misleading the British Horseracing Authority and prejudicial conduct and must serve an additional 100 days for two alcohol breaches.

An independent disciplinary panel of the BHA have also fined the Kerry native £31,111 (€37,223) as part of the ban - which is back-dated to December 8.
