Media reports Thursday said two men were accused of selling the so-called “shock jockeys.” Small vibrating robot “jockeys” are used atop camels for racing in the UAE. Authorities banned boy riders several years ago after complaints by rights groups. Reports say police posing as buyers arrested the suspects at a camel racing track. The units allegedly sold for up to AED30,000 ($820) — about 30 times the cost for the regular robots. Camel racing is a popular traditional sport in the UAE.
