And with good reason. One can only hope SAM sends ALL his frozen swabs to Hong Kong.

If that is the case Mach Wiper should've tested positive to Boldenone when winning two races in succession at Menangle a couple of weeks prior to the Newcastle Cup, and then potentially again when he won the Goulburn Cup 6 or so weeks later. I can't see how that statement can be accurate or used as a defence.
The ironic thing here is that if/when Mach Wiper get disqualified from the Newcastle Cup his stablemate Roman Stride will be declared the winner, so it's still a victory to team McCarthy.
Yes I do have horses with Luke but most importantly I am a believer in justice.
Most of you Luke haters obviously have not done your research on Boldenone.
Firstly and most importantly, it has a VERY long periods within which it remains in a horses system. At least 3 months and up to 9 months. Speak to any vet(I have spoken to 2) or read up on the internet.
How then do you explain the fact that Mach Wiper tested negative 2 weeks either side of the positive reading.??
Secondly, Boldenone is a natural substance which often occurs in stallions. Mach Wiper just happens to be a stallion
Thirdly, the testing for Boldenone is widely recognised as being very difficult and the same horse can have vastly different levels recorded on the same day.
In a nutshell, this is something that you Luke haters need to read up on as i think you will find that the scientific evidence will prove that there is no cheating involved...
Very costly exercise to send them all to Hong Kong and thats probably why the positive has not been until now.
What should be done though now is since a positive to steroids has been detected all frozen McCarthy swabs should be sent and billed to the inquiry and ultimately the outcome.
Steroids should not be tolerated in any sport.......
If it was a TCo2 then it would be thrown into the pile with the other 400 recently.
Where do you think he got his stuff from????????
I think a few of you posters on here need to step back from your keyboard and take a few deep breaths, for f... sake what's happened to giving a bloke a fair go to proven guilty. Most of you posters who confess to being in or involved in horses should know better, I also know that the mods should not only be removing bad posts but banning you from here. Good Luck
