newspaper made allegations of race fixing against him. He was due to appear before the Jockey Club
later in the year to answer the allegations when on 1 September 2004, he was one of three jockeys – including Fergal Lynch and Darren Williams, along with Miles Rodgers, Philip Sherkle and Shaun Lynch – who were arrested as part of a police investigation into the alleged fixing of over 80 races in the previous two years. On 15 December 2004 the Jockey Club discontinued its investigation into the allegations.
The six were charged with conspiracy to defraud between December 2002 and September 2004, by interfering with the running of horses to ensure they lost races, thereby defrauding those placing bets. All denied the charges.
On 3 July 2006, Fallon was charged along with 7 other people for conspiring to defraud the Internet betting exchange Betfair
. Fallon was one of 28 people answering bail at Bishopsgate police station in the City of London in connection with the inquiry.

Four days later, on 7 July 2006, Fallon lost an appeal against his revoked jockey licence and was banned from riding in the UK until his trial for was over, but was still able to race in the Republic of Ireland.

The ban ran from 7 December 2006 to 6 June 2007 and Fallon duly returned on 7 June 2007 with a win at Tipperary Racecourse
, on The Bogberry for Aiden O'Brien. The French ban resulted from a sample given by Fallon when he rode Ivan Denisovich in the Prix Jean Prat
at Chantilly on 9 July 2006.
On 8 October 2007, his trial on charges of race-fixing began at the Old Bailey
court in London

The court case was estimated to have cost £10 million. His suspension from British racing was lifted with immediate effect.
On 8 December 2007, it was revealed by the Daily Mail that Fallon tested positive again for a banned substance on 19 August 2007 at Deauville Racecourse in France, where he rode Myboycharlie, and the results of his B sample are now awaited.
