NEW YORK (AP) – Two former New York horse racing officials accused of lying about how much jockeys weighed have filed a $100 million lawsuit against ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer and state officials a year after charges against them were dismissed.

A Saratoga County judge last year ruled the case was based on faulty evidence.

The federal lawsuit says two innocent men lost their jobs and were banned from the industry because of the investigation by then-Attorney General Spitzer.

A Spitzer spokeswoman has declined to comment. The racing association hasn’t responded to e-mails.
