[edit] Cleanup tag

I don't know the first thing about horseracing and so forth, but this article is in a pretty sorry state. The lead talks about an "enforced sabbatical", which I can only assume relates to a ban placed on him following the scandal which is described later on. It then goes on to make him out to be some kind of white knight. The section on the scandal itself makes little sense, since it seems to start with an unsourced opinion on the entire thing before discussing what actually happened. To the layperson, this article is largely impossible to understand. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. It's gushing PR bullshit. I too know little about racing and have attempted an initial cleanup. I get pissed off with people who can't obey basic WP guidelines and indeed common sense, so can't face doing any more. It's a waste of my time. John 13:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
