Glenn Douglas and Ellen Tormey charged

[Messenger]

Both found guilty

http://www.harness.org.au/media-room...?news_id=42240

We now await penalty - will it be commensurate with two people trying to corrupt the biggest Trots race of the year?

If wife Julie Douglas is simply allowed to take over training the team and Glenn Douglas allowed to continue driving

INTEGRITY in our industry will be non-existent

My guess is 6 months for Ellen and 2 years for Glenn. Personally I would give Glenn 10 years.

I don't know Rick, he only got 6mths instead of 10yrs for this one

Apparently a 48 page explanation from the RAD Board re the decision was originally put up on HRA site but fairly quickly taken down again.
Transparency?

It appears integrity IS non-existent.

JULIE Douglas has 7 acceptors at Melton on Saturday night, 2 at Charlton Sunday and 3 at Shepparton on Christmas Eve. Those numbers suggest she is not a "hobby" trainer.

Reading the 26 page transcript is enough to turn you off harness racing although it pales somewhat in comparison to Mr Asbestos's previous efforts

We find that both Ms Tormey and Mr Douglas were not honest and reliable witnesses.

Dougllas has won several premierships in the industry and been considered by some as a mentor

The 2 have been Disqualified - am I not right in thinking that that is much harsher than suspended?

Doesn't it mean that they cannot set foot on a track or the property of a licensed person?

Does Glenn Douglas live with Julie Douglas?

I notice that already neither Douglas or Tormey can be found with a Harnessweb Licensee search
