ohhh_yeah 2762 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) It is a shame that Owen could not of been lassoed into all of this. Brown Panther! Footballers Michael Chopra and James Coppinger have been found in breach of the Rules of Racing following the outcome of a British Horseracing Authority investigation into alleged corruption. Chopra was found in breach of committing corrupt and fraudulent practices and offering a bribe, while Coppinger was found guilty of corrupt and fraudulent practices. At the centre of the investigation were charges relating to former Flat jockey Andrew Heffernan, who has most recently been riding in Australia. Heffernan was found in breach of all charges brought against him by a BHA disciplinary panel, which published its results on Friday after a hearing that started on January 14 and lasted four days. Along with Ipswich striker Chopra and Doncaster midfielder Coppinger, former England Under-21 international Mark Wilson was another to face charges. Wilson, like Chopra, was found in breach of committing corrupt and fraudulent practices and offering a bribe. The allegations centred on horses being laid to lose on betting exchanges in races that took place between November 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011. The charges related to Heffernan's riding of three horses - Wanchai Whisper, Gallantry and Silver Guest. Five other individuals - Paul Garner, Yogesh Joshee, Douglas Shelley, Kelly Inglis and Pravin Shingardia - were also found in breach. The BHA said that all charges brought against those involved in the case were successful. Heffernan was charged with communicating directly or indirectly to one or more betting exchange account holders information relating to the prospects in the race of that horse. He was also charged with giving information in return for some reward, that he offered to receive or received a bribe, and that he intentionally failed to ensure that a horse ridden by him was run on its merits. Chopra, Garner, Joshee, Shelley and Wilson were charged with offering bribes to Heffernan. Inglis was also charged with conspiring with Heffernan to offer to receive bribes from Chopra, Garner, Joshee, Shelley and Wilson. Garner was also charged with placing lay bets on horses at a time when he was entered as a stable employee. Penalties for those involved are expected to be announced later this afternoon by the BHA's disciplinary panel following further hearings. Speaking earlier this month, Chopra said he could not afford to pay the £50,000 legal fees to defend himself during the inquiry. The 29-year-old former Cardiff forward also said he would welcome any BHA-imposed sanctions as he attempts to cure a gambling addiction. He said: "It is well publicised that I have a gambling addiction problem and I see any such sanctions as being a useful mechanism in helping me to address these problems. "As of this year, I've voluntarily excluded myself from all betting institutions from where I live in Ipswich in order to help me fight this illness." Ipswich Town press manager Steve Pearce said in a statement issued to Press Association Sport: "This is a private matter between Michael and the British Horseracing Authority. "Michael issued a statement before the inquiry began stating his reasons why he would not be appearing in front of the BHA. "He has nothing further to add to that statement at this stage and wants to concentrate on an important game at Bristol City at the weekend."

PaddockLad 14527 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Hearing Lambert has been sacked. Fuckin hell At least 3 managers turmed that job down last summer when they found out what the player budget was. Randy Lerner shit himself financially 24 months ago and this is the result. Same as when Ashley shit himself financially. Edited January 27, 2013 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26606 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 It's just 'Mag-at-work' rumour at the minute. On my phone and can't be arsed to verify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8949 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 He's not getting sacked, the twitter rumour was from an "AVFCOffficial" parody account. As PL says, Lambert is in the same situation as Pardew. There's no way they'll be fired as they're the only goombahs willing to operate under such a tight budget.

luckyluke 1 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Given the manner of his success at Norwich he wasn't going to be an overnight success. He's trying to build a team of youngsters. Lerner shouldn't have been surprised that he's not taken Villa to the brink of the champions league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Have you read it yet? Aye. No surprise that Liverpool are the most wasteful in the league. Would be interesting to compare to last season and see how much more clinical we were then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14527 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Been on night shift the last couple if weeks, have read "the secet footballer".....apparently its Dave Kitson, ex Reading and Stoke. Not a bad read, looks like he wrote the cloumn and book himself, fair play. Not a lot you didnt know/couldnt work out for yourself, and he's very opinionated, sees things exactly for what they are and knows what is important in life. Think he's blew all his money now mind and suffers from depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
