The point you are pressing is basically defending people on the very unlikely possibility of accidental dosing, sure it can happen and does! the question is how many cheats do you let go for the convicted innocent??

I personnally believe our legal system/society has gone a little too far in the quest for total justice to the point victims are being treated less equally than perpetrators and I'm definitely not in favour of any further develpment of this particular bullshit.

I, like all honest people am sick to the back teeth of the bullshit legal argument that allows cheats to continue on their way, and yes if I happened to get a positive for my horses consuming something in the paddock, I would be happy to defend myself on the merits of that case.....thats fine and you have my word.

With the greatest of respect to you I do not think you are being fair dinkum here, you train from a rural property so there is some chance the weed containing Synephrine grows on your property.

My understanding is you have a clean record in relation to prohibited substances... If you got 12 months or 2 years now for a drug like Synephrine in those circumstances you would walk away from the game disgusted because you alone would know you have done NOTHING wrong. other than live near Cessnock on a rural property.

I found out today that a Gallpos Trainer in NSW got 6 months disqualification for Synephrine as well before the powers that be tracked down the true cause.

I have no issues with the spirit of parts one and two of the policy trouble is I think Synephrine may fall into one of them, 2 years for doing nothing wrong.... sorry seems harsh to me.

As VVV continues to say until the testing is better we have to tread carefully with therapeutics and substances that are naturally occurring.
