7yrs disqualification for Cobalt

I love hrnsw finally some stewards with some balls,this is the only way to get rid of the cheats, not these 6-12 months rubbish.

I like the way they deal with quickly gives a person some confidence in how the sport is run in Nsw unlike Qld and Vic

It is clear that we have to tackle the problem of vets and compounding chemists to have any chance of cleaning up the industry

If we learn anything from history Kev, these are the precedents to "cleansing" whilst retaining reputation, have seen this on many occasions, would like to have a couple of K on this happening at anything better than odds on!

I can feel a little sympathy for trainers with a single positive test which may appear an anomaly in as far as there may have been a lapse in security or communication and someone other than the trainer has administered cobalt.
The presence of multi suspended offenders also at this gathering is NOT a good look (I am thinking if they were disqualified not suspended, others would not be allowed to meet with them?)
I still believe it is the Vets that we have to reel in - no doubt trainers could be misled by them. It would be a bit like your stockbroker recommending a stock and you trust his expert opinion and take his advice but the stock tanks

[Mr Anderson]

if found to be cheating by cobalt or any other way it should be life with no welcome back to the sport as they do now after a small suspension.
I can think of 3 top drivers in NSW who shouldnt be driving but they are and continue to snub their nose at the stewards.

You are never going to get life Robert - you rarely see life for murder nowadays

[barney]

And this is the reason my life long love for the sport is no longer there.When you see people who who have done the wrong thing and been caught yet still pretend they are innocent.

I agree one strike in the drug using catagory your out for life.
