Let's say I publicly accused a jockey of race fixing on a internet forum with no basis of fact, only conjecture and wild conspircy theories.

Have I opened myself to a liebel or slander suit by said jockey? What is the difference between libel and slander? Would this be a civil action solely, or could there be criminal implications and possible prosicution at hand as well?

Thanks, your responses are valued and appreciated.

Good question. It's probably pretty smart of you to ask a question like that before you did something that outrageous. Good looking out.
