Champion jockey Jamie Kah has been charged by racing stewards after photos that appeared to show her rack up a line of white powder surfaced on social media last month.
She and Ruby McIntyre have been each been hit with one charge by racing stewards, who allege they have breached the sport’s regulations with the controversial images.
In a statement, Racing Victoria said the pair are accused of breaking the rule that states ‘a person must not engage in conduct prejudicial to the image, interests, integrity, or welfare of racing, whether or not that conduct takes place within a racecourse or elsewhere’.

On June 22, Kah announced she was back in the saddle and preparing to make a return to racing three months on from a horror fall that resulted in a stint in hospital due to a brain bleed and memory loss.
However, just a day later damning photos were found to have been circulating within the racing industry on WhatsApp, which appear to show Kah racking up a line of a white substance.
Kah was reportedly pictured with close friend and housemate Jacob Biddell, who is a greyhound trainer. He is seen pouting for the photo in a ribbed cream turtleneck jumper.
Another girl is pulling peace signs with her hands, with a grey plate placed on a marble kitchen table.

The second photo, appears to show Kah’s hand – with the same manicured nails and grey jumper – using a plastic card to split a mound of white powder on the plate that was seen in the first image.
Greyhound Racing Victoria is also looking into Biddell’s appearance in the images, according to the Herald Sun.
