    This is certainly a hot topic but can anyone answer this question:


    Why doesn't all of the states in both codes test for Cobalt?

    Cheers
    Teecee, can't link directly to the sections but the following will take you to the on-line NSW legislation site. Scroll down the left hand side as the sections are in numerical order

How bad has it got when harness racing is there to supply a betting medium and some betting agency's either won't take bets or restrict them
    Hi Patricia, there are 4 offences listed in Section 2 of the Part; 193N (Engage in Conduct...), 193O (Facilitate conduct...), 193P (Concealing Conduct...) and 193Q (Use of corrupt conduct information...) and for each of them, as is the case for the more general Fraud Offences (192E etc.), the prosecution must prove the accused, at the time of their conduct (administering the drug in this case), administered the drug with the intention of gaining a financial advantage or causing a financial disadvantage. Criminal offences must be proven beyond reasonable doubt, which as I indicated earlier, will involve significant evidence to be proven, and since we generally only find out after a swab has been tested, that level of evidence is going to be very hard to get; it is impossible to prove simply because a swab is positive.

    However, the level of evidence that is required could be gained through covert operations, no different to what police do when investigating drug supply. It's simply a matter of will; it would require a complete change in our current approach to dealing with drug cheats

    Regards

    Mark

    It still sounds easier for our own authorities to just ban cheats for 5yrs+

    Hi Mark...
    thank you for your research. The link is very helpful. I was looking at the right Act (in pdf format of the original) but it appears not set out as well.
    I couldn't find the parts you mentioned.
    Now that I have read those parts quoted by you I have to agree with what you said earlier.
    You are also right IMO the hardest task is to prove the intent in order to gain conviction.


    Thanks again

    In any industry there will be recreational drug users as it is so prevalent throughout the general population but Allan is talking about horses Brenno

    By setting a threshold of 200 i believe it has become open slather, if you look at the way some horses are winning with amounts as low as 9 or so i believe until its zero its not worth racing a horse unless your trainer is prepared to use as well i just dont know if its worth racing a horse at the moment.
