Qúinn and Milczarek banned

Jimmy Quinn has two rides booked at Southwell today and Kirsty Milczarek two at Kempton this evening, but neither will be able to ride following the BHA´s decision yesterday to ban them with immediate effect - Quinn for 6 months and Milczarek for 24. This is result of the investigation into corruption in racing, and the others concerned, including ex-jockeys Paul Doe and Greg Fairley- received much longer supensions. However these two bans seem totally unjustified and the decision against Quinn- who has ridden often in Germany- is especially outrageous, as it appears that he was found guilty of no offence.
