I'm no expert, but if you blow up the pic it does look like 2 metal posts showing. But like I said I'm no expert, and he does seem like a nice person. I would hate for him to get a 3rd suspension for the same thing.

Suspended while investigation continues.

"Following the meeting, replacement riders were named for all five races in which Chapa had been named to ride on Monday.

Steward Dennis Sidener confirmed that Chapa would not be allowed to ride until further notice. “As of this moment, Roman Chapa is summarily suspended,” Sidener said. “At this time’s it’s still being investigated.”

"In 1993, Texas handed him a 19-month suspension.

In 2007, the New Mexico Racing Commission tossed him for the same offense. NMRC set the penalty at five years, then granted him a probationary return after four years. That year, 2011, he resumed his career at Sam Houston.

The veteran competed in more than 10,000 races. His mounts' earnings reached $26 million. In three of his best years, Chapa ranked among the nation's top 50 jockeys in riding wins"
