Orion recalls Fallon biography
Orion's recently published biography of champion jockey Kieren Fallon is to be recalled following a complaint by the sportman's solicitor, Setanta Sports reports.
The book, by Sunday Times journalist Andrew Longmore, went on sale in June but a spokesperson for the publisher said it was being withdrawn and reprinted because there was a "problem" with it.
Fallon's solicitor complained to the publisher over the reprinting of former jockey Stuart Webster's story told to a national newspaper of an incident involving the Irish jockey in September 1994 that resulted in libel proceedings.
