Dettori 'aims to regain title'

Frankie Dettori wants to become champion jockey again when he returns from a six-month drugs ban, his solicitor has told BBC Sport. "He is hoping to use this new start to his career as a point from which he can win the jockeys' championship," said Christopher Stewart-Moore. The three-time champion is suspended until May after testing positive for a banned substance in France. Dettori, 41, will miss the first eight weeks of the 2013 Flat racing season. But the British-based Italiarider will be eligible to return from 20 May, in time for the Epsom Derby and Royal Ascot meetings in June, after French racing authority France Galop backdated the ban to his first hearing on 20 November.
