    “We’ve been named, blamed and shamed and been punished for something nobody has done’’ Kavanagh told RSN.

    Kavanagh, one of four Victorian stables being investigated for horses returning illegal levels of cobalt, insisted neither he nor the other trainers had cheated.

    He said he had lost horses and had not purchased any at recent yearling sales amid the uncertainty of the future and the drop off of clients.

    Peter Moody has revealed he has also lost clients.

    Kavanagh said the ongoing investigation and stigma had “affected me personally and my business dramatically”.

    “Nobody’s done anything wrong. It’s in feed supplements and it’s turned up in swabs and it’s just unfortunate,’’ he said.

    ...........................................

    Kavanagh said there was evidence that multiple use of legal supplements could push a horse above the 200 microgram/litre of urine threshold

    ...........................................

    Jamie Lovett, breeder and part-owner of Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist, appeared unconvinced by Kavanagh’s defence, tweeting “Vitamins … really…’’

    Edit - I thought there was evidence that you could not get a horse over 35 on legal supplements or was that just feed? I wonder whether he would go so far as to say that 'multiple use of legal supplements' was following administration instructions

    The Appeal panel of Racing NEW rejected the appeal of Darren Smith and upheld his 15 years disqualification. Article from the SMH makes interesting reading

    Very interesting Warren, I wonder whether ppb is the same as microgram/L for even though they are not talking full disqualification of trainers at 50ppb, if those measurements equate, we are talking about a quarter of the level we have set.

    Thanks for doing what I should have done myself TC
    so The Association of Racing Commissioners International are sanctioning trainers whose horses return a reading which is a mere ¼ of the Australian level and not letting the horses race until it returns to level 1/8 the 200 we allow
    If the gallops guys get off on top of the AFL/Essendon drug botch up - Australia will be seen as the Drugs sporting capital of the world
