Trainer Milton Harris has withdrawn his appeal against the decision to strip him of a licence.
Wiltshire-based Harris, 64, was found not to be a fit and proper person after a catalogue of incidents including a "campaign of abuse and harassment" against a neighbour and rival.
He was also said to have behaved inappropriately towards female staff.
Harris, a Grade One-winning trainer, initially indicated he intended to fight the verdict.
"I need to respect the licensing committee's decision, which I do, but some of the information they have been given was not correct," he said last week.
A British Horseracing Authority spokesperson said on Wednesday Harris had withdrawn his appeal.
Harris was third in this season's jump trainers' championship with 33 winners at the time of his suspension in November.
He was in his second spell as a trainer, having spent seven years without a licence after declaring bankruptcy in 2011.
