FRANKIE Dettori was on Wednesday temporarily banned from riding in France "based on medical grounds", French racing's ruling body announced.
The suspension follows Tuesday's inquiry at France Galop's headquarters in Paris into Dettori's positive test for a banned substance when he was riding at Longchamp on September 16.
A France Galop statement confirmed: "Following yesterday's examination of the file and after having duly notified the jockey Lanfranco Dettori of its decision, the Medical Committee has temporarily suspended the said jockey from riding in races in France, based on medical grounds."
The verdict of Tuesday's medical commission which consisted of a panel of three doctors is now being reviewed by France Galop stewards.
The stewards' verdict on what if any action to take against the legendary rider will be delivered "within the next fortnight...in accordance with the Rules of Racing", the statement announced.
