Ashley Barnes: Norwich City striker banned from UK racecourses

Norwich City striker Ashley Barnes has been banned indefinitely from attending horse racing meetings in the UK.

Barnes, 34, was placed on the British Horseracing Authority's excluded list earlier this month.

The ban has been imposed because he did not co-operate with an ongoing BHA investigation.

Barnes joined Norwich from Burnley last summer and has scored seven goals in 33 games for the club, who are sixth in the Championship table.

In a statement, the sport's governing body said: "The BHA can confirm that the Ashley Barnes listed as an excluded person on our website is the professional footballer Ashley Barnes.
