Jockey Eddie Ahern and former West Brom defender and racehorse owner Neil Clement are among six people facing corruption charges at the British Horseracing Authority on Monday.

The group were charged late last year with breaching racing's rules.

The BHA hearing is due to run until Friday 3 May.

Ahern is subject to a number of allegations, including that he stopped a mount from obtaining the best possible position at Lingfield in 2011.

The others under investigation are James Clutterbuck, the son of Newmarket trainer Ken, and three individuals without licences - Paul Hill, Martin Raymond and Michael Turl.

Irishman Ahern has ridden more than 1,000 winners in Britain while Clement made more than 250 appearances for West Brom, including four seasons in the Premier League, but was forced to retire in January 2010 due to a knee injury.

Ahern is alleged to have stopped his mount Judgethemoment running on its merits at Lingfield racecourse in January 2011.

He is also accused of giving inside information, including for reward, to Clement and/or others.

Clement is charged with using inside information to place bets, breaching the rules by laying (backing against) his own horse Hindu Kush, and failing to provide requested details to the BHA.

He is also alleged to have conspired with Clutterbuck, the assistant trainer and owner of racehorse Stoneacre Gareth, while the other three are accused of placing bets having obtained inside information.
