CHAMPION jockey Oisin Murphy has been banned for three months by governing body France Galop after testing positive for metabolites of cocaine.
Murphy, who successfully defended his title this season, failed a test at Chantilly on July 19, having ridden The Lir Jet, owned by his bosses Qatar Racing.
