Hollie Doyle has been given a one-month ban – suspended for one year – after testing positive for a banned substance at Newcastle on March 31.
A disciplinary panel accepted the breach was "unintended" and was a "one-off error" resulting from the use of painkillers to treat an elbow injury.

Mitigating circumstances it would appear but rules really should be black or white
I doubt a a lesser/unknown jockey would have got off so lightly.
''As dihydrocodeine can provide a euphoric high when taken in higher-than-therapeutic doses, it is quite commonly used recreationally''
Wiki.
What's she taking that for when other painkillers are available?
Just reading the side effects would stop most people taking it.

Apprentice jockey Harry Burns has expressed his frustration at receiving a two-month suspension after failing to notify the BHA of medication he began using at the start of the year.
Burns, who suffers from Crohn's disease, was handed the ban at a private independent disciplinary panel on August 31. He admitted to "human error" by not informing chief medical adviser Dr Jerry Hill of his use of a new medication in January that fell under the BHA's list of 'banned substances and notifiable medications' for jockeys.
The 28-year-old completed 30 rides under the new medication before it was discovered in a drugs test at Wolverhampton in March. He undertook a concussion test 11 days later, which indicated no impairment of his cognitive function, before admitting to breaching the rules in April.
"I spoke with the BHA to keep the hearing private about the medication, which they have complied with, and I did break the rules," Burns said.
"I was probably a bit naive and it was just human error. The BHA have their rules and they've given me the entry-point ban, but I do think it's a bit harsh.
"They've got their guidelines to follow, but it's a rule they could maybe look at, because I do think the punishment doesn't match the crime."

Most sports now you have to log every single meds you take no matter how minor it seems.
Rules are rules but plus points for admitting it happened and explaining why.
I am absolutely bored of people making excuses for sh*t they did like that boxer eating +300 eggs a day (come on…he blatantly knew what he was doing) or Oisen’s coke addiction but blaming it on some hooker he was shagging.
Cmon man…ffs just admit you like a cheeky line and you like banging hookers. Nothing wrong with that bro…what I don’t need is all the fkin boring lies and excuses. Ffs.
At least Holly manned up and told the truth. I like her even more now.

It might have been harsh if they actually gave her a ban. The fact that they didn't makes it a non-story.
