Vinny however is a gelding

you would think with all the testing currently taking place you would stop using. Is it a game they think they can win, is it prestige, is it the money can anyone tell me why they would continue to use chemicals ?

[Roy Boy]

They might look a previous trainer as well

First of all, I assume you are talking about 'they' in general Steve as BM has not even been charged yet, much less proven guilty of anything
Just before reading your post I was watching The Program (Lance Armstrong) on foxtel - humans being human - some will always break the rules

[DRUIDRACING]

Certainly not casting aspersions about the current positive test. I also watched Lance Armstrong and i thought how great he was to return after cancer how easily we can be fooled. Generally I think racing has been controlled in recent months and the better horses are winning on the whole. i do a lot of research into racing and horses form, trainers, drivers etc and to the average punter all seems well but there are some stables that are questionable at times. Any how I love this industry and now the dogs are gone are we next ?

Thought the same thing, just keeping it in the family.
Same applies to Big Races tomorrow at Melton for 2 runners.
It appears when racing interstate, the move from the usual stables to the new trainers stables, immediately passes the test.

this one took a long time to complete. Actually makes good reading with some new facts in the report " inconclusive evidence that the trainer was responsible for the administration of the substances " and "the number of horses in her care" and the final one "lack of motive".

Then who was responsible for the administration ?

Lack of motive ? usually these substances are administered to win or improve the performance of the horse. in some cases used to treat injured animals. however not being up on medicine the detected substances are they for injuries ?

A link to the decision - 12mths backdated to Aug, has been posted elsewhere but the link clearly belongs here too

Suggest you go back through the forum threads to previous cases involving these drugs. You may get a better understanding of the "facts". Boldenone has be extensively dealt with here previously so expect that this is far from the end of this chapter.

waiting for chapter 3...................4 i do remember the previous cases. similar feel.
