'It was a nightmare' | Oisin Murphy discusses drink-driving conviction and car crash

Oisin Murphy has described his car crash and subsequent conviction for drink driving as “a nightmare for everyone involved”. The four-times champion jockey was fined £70,000 and banned from driving for 20 months having pleaded guilty to one count of driving a motor vehicle while over the prescribed limit of alcohol after the accident in April. Following the conclusion of those court proceedings, the British Horseracing Authority announced the immediate imposition of “an extremely strict set of conditions and monitoring requirements” on Murphy’s riding licence which “must be adhered to at all times”, although the exact details remain confidential. ------------------- Enjoy the best of Sky Sports Racing on the free and award-winning At The Races app: iPhone: http://apple.co/1I4NxAV Android: http://bit.ly/1VPIcEz #Subscribe   / attheraces     / attheraces     / at.the.races
