As pointed out earlier in the thread also many pictures of him with his phone in different hand to different ear

[Redbridge]

That wouldn't be the strongest rebuttal you've ever read now would it

This no doubt will end up a Police matter so the less said and will surely result in prosecution or a civil case..

I agree but him simply saying "I can confirm the picture isn't me, but I will cooperate fully with the investigation" would cause zero harm. Unfortunately the Daily Mail have already picked up the story, and posted the image as well, yet there isn't a single hint of denial in the article because Elliott hasn't given one.

What would the offense be?

Exactly why in gods name would he not just say that. The world we live in atm damage is already done to him and the sport. Obviously that's not fair but its the case. This needed to have been nipped in the bud. How many more thousands of people have to see it before he thinks its a good idea to deny it.

His lack of denial makes him look a lot more guilty.

I can't see how it's a criminal offense but it could be hugely damaging to his credibility and therefore his business.

I stand to be corrected though.

[ryanh97]

What would the offense be?

Google says this:

"Criminal defamation was a controversial law that turned defamation, which is a civil tort, into a criminal matter. A defamation offence was defined by law as the publication of inaccurate information which devalues the reputation of another."

If its fake it appears that he could potentially start criminal proceedings against the creator?

Police may investigate the circumstances around the photograph, on all sides.
But unless they can prove he did harm to the horse in an illegal manner then surely it's just reputation and in the realms of disrepute and conduct.

[Redbridge]

What would the offense be?

If the photo turns out to be fake I would presume it would have caused great harm to GE's reputation.

[Kevloaf]

Oh yeh, I mean if it's true what would the offense be?

There are zero positives about this

The likes of Chevely Park Stud and Gigginstown will already have been onto Gordon, for a statement from him. If they start distancing themselves then we will know for sure something is up, because they would be wary of negative impact by association. Conversely if either of them come out with public supports of confidence in GE then the likelihood is high that they have already received adequate assurances.

I thought this myself NW. You'd expect the likes of Gigginstown to be asking the question last night.

[Atlantic Viking]

I'm not much of a GE fan but it's quite clearly a photoshopped image, whoever's behind it has done quite an impressive job for the most part then been quite shoddy in easier parts!

I wouldn’t expect gigginstown really give a shit myself, if I’m honest

Wouldn't be good for their image though.
