Oisin Murphy cleared to return from 14-month ban but must stay sober and avoid drugs

Oisin Murphy has been cleared to return to race riding from a 14-month ban by the BHA but will have to undergo regular testing to ensure he remains sober and avoids drugs in order to continue to hold a licence.

The three-time champion Flat jockey has been told he will be granted a licence from next Thursday, February 16, when his suspension expires but it will be issued with conditions attached.

Murphy was banned for misleading the BHA when he broke Covid rules in 2020 and failing two alcohol breath tests in 2021.
