Frankie Dettori has been temporarily suspended from riding in France due to this week's case over his positive test for a banned substance.
The 41-year-old made his representation via conference call at the Medical Committee of the French racing authority, France Galop, in Paris on Tuesday.
However, the file has been passed on to the French stewards, who will pass judgment within a fortnight.
