I'm very embarrassed for FRENCH racing

C'mon otherwise I'll be thinking that some of you believe that abiding by the rules is something only us Brits need to do.

GG - i think the whip rule is a mess and has caused unnecessary and enormous embarassment to our sport this week, but, although he has just been done for 50k, I found his comments risible.

Me too RC. What's equally baffling is that given all the furore this week, Soumillon seems to be somewhat surprised that the rules, no matter how badly constructed they appear to be, are being rigidly enforced!

The British are the only ones to play fair, French have cheated at every sport.Also by controlling the E.U. finances they have systematically robbed the British purse through that corrupt organisation.The phrase no good deed goes unpunished springs to mind considering you bailed them out in two wars,their response oppose Britains interest at all costs and build a refugee centre at the site of the Euro Tunnel.

... and Bruno Cheyrou (ex-Liverpool FC player)

GG - it was almost as if the news was a revelation to him! A terrible state of affairs, and he must have been terribly frustrated, but he sounded shocked and surprised!

Blatantly

Cattermole was the same. 'Will you not ride here if the rules stay in force, Christophe?' ( obviously searching for a big statement )
'I will have to ride here if I'm contracted to'

Unlucky Catt.

wildman - Looks like Prost might be a forumite!

ranader - even you can't believe that a Frenchman was in charge of a World Cup semi-final match between France and Wales!
