Oisin Murphy will appear before the independent disciplinary panel of the British Horseracing Authority on Tuesday to answer charges relating to a breach of Covid protocols and twice testing positive for alcohol above permitted levels on the racecourse.
The BHA announced in December it had conducted a “detailed investigation” after being made aware of a possible breach of coronavirus protocols by Murphy related to travel in September.
The BHA subsequently issued three charges and a hearing in front of a disciplinary panel was arranged to take place on December 10.
