Rules are rules and whatnot but isn’t the important thing if she, in those communications, actually disclosed valuable information? If it was just ”hey what should we get for dinner?” or ”wanna hang out next weekend?” I’m not sure it matters.

I have a friend who works for racetrack and rules are very strict, you can imagine if there’s suspicion someone is leaking info, eg x horse is limping, x jockey is hungover etc ppl won’t want to bet
So it makes sense imho

Considering the match-fixing issue, this is something that absolutely must be upheld

The latest info is that she came forward herself about the smartphone use and was disciplined (i.e. got a firm talking-to) already last year. It was supposed to be case closed, but she’s now being suspended only because a tabloid got wind of it.
