Racing Labs around the world do not give Quantitative analysis in plain words they do not say how much is in each sample ... they provide Qualitative analysis, that is it is in the horse, they can however in some drugs say if its a large or small amount.
Gai Waterhouse had a small amount of cocaine detected in a swab a few years back yes it was in the horse so she was still penalised and the horse disqualified.
The point I am making is the level could be so small as to be contamination from human use and not through administration this was the defence throughout the Waterhouse case because the level was at the lower end. There would have been no point in involving the police in this case and whilst I have no knowledge of the current Harness case it may be similar or of course, it the brief may have been handed to the police for further investigation, we simply do not know and to be honest we should not because that might compromise any police investigation if there is one.
