A betting account and a lengthy ban: how Hayley Turner episode unfolded
Hayley Turner received a three-month ban on Thursday after a panel heard she placed bets on horses while a professional licensed jockey.
The bets were placed on a Paddy Power account that Turner opened in her own name in December 2015 and were drawn to the attention of the BHA by the bookmaker this August.
Here are how the events unfolded . . .
