The father of Irish jockey Rossa Ryan said he was 'horrified and disgusted' when watching Christophe Soumillon elbow his son out of the saddle in a race on Friday.
Belgian jockey Soumillon has been given a two-month ban by the French racing authorities for causing Galway man Rossa to lose his balance and tumble to the turf during a race at Saint-Cloud.
Despite falling off the horse at high speed and landing awkwardly, Rossa, 22, was able to walk away without serious injuries.
