Door een onthullende persfoto is de uitslag van de belangrijkste paardenrace in de Verenigde Staten in twijfel getrokken:
A photograph of Kentucky Derby-winning jockey José Santos has racing officials questioning what was in his hand as he crossed the finish line last Saturday. The photo, which ran in several newspapers the morning after the race, depicts a dark area in the space between Santos' right hand and his whip.
Two Kentucky Derby stewards termed the photo ''suspicious,'' and Bernie Hettel, the state's steward at the race, said the photo could lead to further investigation. Santos acknowledged Friday he carried an object in his hand during the race. Some jockeys have been known to use illegal, battery-operated devices.
Getty Images photographer Jamie Squire, who magnified his picture in order to examine it more closely: ``Now that I look at it, it's pretty interesting. I definitely see something in his hand besides the whip. It's an object. And I definitely did not alter the photograph. I stand by my reputation on that.'' Brandon Lopez, an editor at Getty, said the photograph was not altered.
