Pierre-Charles Boudot, 28, French Champion jockey has been accused of assaulting a woman at a party in February. However, he denies any wrongdoing.
Mr. Boudot who had won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in 2019, had been released on 50,000 euro bail. Another jockey, Pierre Bazire is also being investigated for failing to report the crime.
The governing body of the sport in France, France Galop, said that while both of the men were presumed to be innocent, it had decided to suspend them for two days due to the seriousness of the charges. Mr. Boudot had also been named as a witness in another rape investigation dating back to 2015.

“Men’s fashion means little to me. I buy it, of course, but drawing a men’s collection and put up with all those stupid models, no thanks.” – Karl Lagerfeld
In an interview with Numero, he was asked whether he made his cat the heir to his vast fortune. He replied to the question: “Among others, yes. Don’t worry, there is enough for everyone.”
Karl Otto Lagerfeld was a German creative director, fashion designer, artist, photographer, and caricaturist from Paris. He was known as the creative director of the French fashion house Chanel, a position he held from 1983 until his death, and was also creative director of the Italian fur and leather goods fashion house Fendi, and of his own eponymous fashion label.
