Racing: Six-time champion jockey Kieren Fallon is adamant he has no intention of retiring. Fallon will face trial on September 24th next in connection with the City of London police investigation into alleged race-fixing.
Having already been banned from riding in Britain, the Irish jockey must also serve a suspension until June next year for failing a drugs test.
But despite his current troubles, the 41-year-old Fallon insists he will not yet call time on what has been an illustrious, if chequered, career.
"Next year I will be better than ever," he told the Racing Post. "I have never been more hungry and I am determined to repay Coolmore for standing by me.
"I have ridden well over the last couple of years but still made the odd mental error.
"But now I am going to be sharper than ever because I will appreciate and enjoy being able to ride those good horses all the more.
"I am 41, but I can't talk about retiring.
"I have no aches and pains. I am in the best shape of my life - I could be like this for at least another five more years."
