Frankie Dettori issues full apology and aims to 'rebuild reputation' after being handed six-month ban From the start of this inquiry I have acknowledged that I take responsibility for my actions. Meanwhile, his solicitor Christopher Stewart-Moore said: "France Galop have today announced their finding Frankie Dettori has committed a breach of their rules relating to prohibited substances. I have spoken to Frankie since the announcement was made and he has told me he fully accepts France Galop's decision. He also accepts that he has let down the sport he loves and all those associated with it, as well as the wider public. But most of all, and this is his greatest regret, he has let down his wife and children. The Italian-born rider will be back in time to feature in the Derby and the Oaks at Epsom - and at Royal Ascot in June. Dettori, who was cautioned by police for possession of cocaine in 1993, made the headlines in October when his 18-year association with powerful owners Godolphin came to an end, with the rider planning to operate as a freelance in 2013. Dettori is not the first to fall foul of the French authority, with Kieren Fallon banned six months by France Galop in 2006 after returning a positive test for a metabolite of a banned substance. France Galop then suspended him a further 18 months after a second positive test in August 2007. What they said on Dettori ban It's very sad for racing and obviously for Frankie. We all make mistakes, he has to live by it. It's harder on him than anyone else. He's a fantastic jockey and will continue to be when he comes back and I'm sure he'll be as good as ever. Trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam I'm sad that this has happened and hope it doesn't happen again. He is the best jockey that has been around for quite a while and a great ambassador for the sport. Trainer Luca Cumani Dettori, the mercurial public face of British racing and the world's top international rider, is no cheat. For all his public charisma and exuberance, he is subject to exceptional pressures. For 25 years he has earned our respect and now deserves our understanding and sympathy before being welcomed back next year on May 20. Racing pundit John McCririck It's obviously all very sad and I feel very sorry for Frankie, who has taken it on the chin. I'm sure he is enduring a considerable amount of shame and personal embarrassment, but at the same time I'm sure he will bounce back. Trainer Mark Johnston
