McCririck sues for £3m over 'ageism'

RACING pundit John McCririck is to sue Channel 4 for £3 million, claiming the broadcaster axed him from its racing coverage because he was too old.

He was dropped when the station unveiled its new presenting team headed by Clare Balding.

The presenter said he was taking action in a bid to stand up for others who fear losing their jobs because of their age.
