Jockey Richard Hughes says riders who conform to the new whip rules are "not trying to the best of their ability".
The 38-year-old has given up his riding licence in protest at the new British Horseracing Authority regulations after receiving a second ban in four days.
Hughes told BBC Radio 5 live: "The way the rules are structured means you will have to change the way you ride."
The BBC understands the BHA are committed to the principles of the whip review but are open to discussions.
The organisation has already announced that officials are set to consider submissions from the Professional Jockeys Association in the wake of the new rules.
Hughes' decision to quit in protest comes as racing prepares for British Champions Day at Ascot, the richest raceday in the country's history with £3m of prize money on offer.
The new guidelines mean the whip can only be used a maximum of seven times in a Flat race and eight times over the jumps - roughly half the previous limit.
The limits are likely to stay, but the punishments - which clearly were not working before the rules were tightened - have probably been set too high, and should be reviewed Cornelius Lysaght's full analysis
In addition, a maximum of five strokes can be administered in the last furlong or from the final obstacle.
Hughes was penalised under this clause, which is at the heart of his complaint.
"I was whole-heartedly behind bringing down the number of times you can hit a horse. I was at the forefront, saying it's not a bad thing and we need to get used to it. I think I had two one-day bans in three years, with about 300 rides. I was the least offender of anyone," said Hughes.
"But they've set a trap for us. We asked for a simple number from the Jockey's Association and they couldn't do that.
"I know you should be able to count to seven, but it's multi-tasking. If anyone out there doesn't know what I mean, how many of them have been done by the same speed camera? You know it's there and by the time you go past it you think, 'oh no, I've done it again'. And you don't lose your license for a year, you get three points.
"We [jockeys] were all up in arms about it in the week. We told them [the British Horseracing Association] we were struggling.
"Jamie Stier [the head of the BHA's raceday regulation] said he consulted us, but he did no such thing. I haven't spoken to the BHA myself. We told them we were finding it difficult but they said they weren't changing so get used to it."
When it was suggested to him that other jockeys were managing to conform to the new rules, Hughes replied: "Yes, but they're not trying to the best of their ability, I'm afraid."
Hughes did concede that should the regulations be reviewed he would weigh up returning to the sport.
"If they consider changing the rules I'll ride again but at the moment they're taking the will to win away from us," he added.
