The British Horseracing Authority has dismissed trainer Karl Burke's appeal against a one-year ban.
Burke was disqualified after he admitted passing information for reward at a BHA hearing in July - although he had hoped to have his punishment reduced.
However Burke has seen his bid rejected, with the appeal panel, chaired by Sir William Gage, ordering him to pay £4,000 towards costs and forfeit his £800 deposit.
Burke, who has transferred his Spigot Lodge string to the care of his father-in-law Alan Jarvis, had trained Lord Shanakill to Group One success at the Prix Jean Prat earlier in the season.
