    I have to say I have no knowledge on this case however I suspect from chatting with one of Australia's most prominent veterinary surgeons that the defense will be about an issue in the testing procedures used to declare the positive.

    You have to remember Jeff Small convinced an appeal judge a few years back the blood was not part of the cardio vascular system and as such was not guilty breach of the prohibited substance rules.
    Bill, thats why the rules were changed so that a trainer is guilty if a horse presents with anything above the allowed limits.....regardless of the reason....you could walk in and say "yeah I don't like him and I put XXXX in the horses feed".....trainer still guilty

    If they can prove there is a problem with the testing procedure and I am not saying that there is, or that they can but if they can there is no breach because it makes the positive finding null and void..... which is what happened in Queensland with the caffeine positives about 20 years ago.

    It is not then about how it got there because it is deemed to not be there.

    G'day Bill,

    The biggest question right now is when will the appeal finally take place...Days of our Lives didn't run this long. Rest assured Bill, the lottery ticket will be ready and waiting for you, but don't be surprised if you get a private message from me detailing mailing instructions for you to send me the ticket because even Rumpole of the Bailey couldn't get Luke out of this one.
