Guest Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 5 people pinged. Matty Mitchell is one. Barred from 4 races. Kyle Langford is another. The main trimmer dude banned as well plus 2 more OR lost 2 points Maybe more to come after the Cup. The 'word' is suggesting some big names. Sorry typing as it's being reported.......

Mothership 6 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Two points. Unbelievable. Can Oracle now be sued in civil court for bringing the Cup into disrepute? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Can Oracle now be sued in civil court for bringing the Cup into disrepute? Knot during the AC but maybe after it finishes. Isn't there a rule saying 'No courts during'. Link to post Share on other sites

Romany 162 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Cheating pricks got off lightly and the truth will never see the light of day. Future action will not sanitise the 'reputation' of the cup. They can buff it up as much as they want, the tarnishing keeps coming back. Link to post Share on other sites
