Dean Gallagher has today confessed to being one of the jockeys who has recently tested positive for cocaine. The Champion Hurdle winning jockey was not named in UK Sport's quarterly anti-doping report but he has decided to admit that he has once again tested positive for a banned substance and that his riding career is under threat.
Gallagher was banned for six months in 2000 after testing positive to cocaine on three separate occasions in France. Jockey Club spokesman John Maxse confirmed that Gallagher was the licensed jockey revealed in the report.
