If you knew of some of the things he was subjected to whilst he was the chief steward of HRV, you would not blame him for leaving.

Driving the mobile home from Geelong one night, was allegedly almost forced off the road by a participant! At that point he made the decision to get out.

Terry Bailey mad a comment - which I agree with that the level allowed (200mg) is very lenient when you view the sample stats.

This is a litmus test for the integrity or lack of in Racing in Victoria and Australia.

I fear it could go the way of the litmus test for sport in general in Australia - the Aussie Rules Essendon saga

i have just finished reading the sun news paper,many pages on the doping "bomb shell",i have also read the local rag the warrnambool standard from front to back and not one single word on the subject......tim auld the standards racing guru and renowned disliker of harness racing is deafening with his silence.....are there any age readers out there that can tell me if it has run any press on the doping issue....the warrnambool standard is owned by the age.

Moody front page Courier yesterday, while Telegraph only had a small corner story. Tele had a bigger story on Waller complaining about money spent on training facilities. Had a chuckle about that one.

Thoroughbred horses sell newspapers, form guide, superstar jockeys, how the other half live.....They won't shoot themselves in the foot with adverse stories, I love the way harness racing always gets a mention at the bottom of the stories.
Wait for the spin doctors......it will start soon.....some poorly paid stablehand or hands will get the blame and the muti millionaire trainers will get a $30,000 fine." The Untouchables"

Can't help but think a "Joe the Cameraman" moment is coming up soon.

spot on p.plater said a similar thing last night but my post was removed.

Will be interesting to see the difference in treatment from Lee & Shannon Hope compared to the 3 big names in Moody Obrien and Kavanagh
