Jockey Club officials today issued a statement outlining the reasons behind Roger Buffham's dismissal as head of security last year. The statement comes after a week of intense pressure for the Jockey Club following the screening of the Panorama programme entitled `The Corruption Of Racing' last Sunday.
Buffham was one of the key witnesses to feature in the documentary and he is said to have provided much of the information for the programme. The statement reveals that allegations of sexual harassment were made by more than one member of staff during an eight year period at Portman Square. The Jockey Club also claim that complaints were made in respect of the way Roger Buffham managed his team during the same time between 1993 and 2001.
