If a small trainer from Western Victoria has been been caught in possession of the peptide TB 1000, I cannot help but think that it is probably better stashed away in many other stables.

To read "Peptides have the added attraction to drug cheats that they are virtually undetectable" makes me think that the chances of us having a relatively clean racing industry and thus a level playing field are virtually zero!
I wonder whether one day, if we decide to pursue integrity, all our racing stock will have to come from training centres/barns (similar to what Peter Walsh said he worked from in the US in his interview on the latest Harness Review) with 24hr security surveillance
