PJA’s Paul Struthers: ‘we accept disciplinary panel’s judgment’Chief executive admits PJA wrong to say Frost ‘felt bullied’Paul Struthers, the chief executive of the Professional Jockeys’ Association (PJA), has accepted that Bryony Frost was bullied by fellow rider Robbie Dunne, and that the organisation was wrong to say she only “felt” bullied in previous statements.
Dunne was banned for 18 months, with three months suspended, after a high-profile
British Horseracing Authority disciplinary hearing concluded on Thursday. An independent panel found he had bullied and harassed Frost, engaging in conduct on the track, in the weighing room and online that was prejudicial to the integrity, proper conduct and good reputation of horse racing.
