My point exactly Stu! Get sick of the continued denigrating of our sport by a company that never reports on any of the good things attached to it.
I'm not a student of law but I thought process was arrested. charged and found guilty in court. So where does 'suspected' fit in. And suspected by who? The journalists writing the story? Suspected = could be or might not exist?
So...
"Fairfax Media recently revealed how a suspected organised crime syndicate, led by prominent harness racing owner Paul Sequenzia and which is linked to top trainers and drivers, has also been suspected of harness race fixing."
Reword...
"Fairfax Media recently revealed how a organised crime syndicate that might not even exist, led by prominent harness racing owner Paul Sequenzia and which could be linked to top trainers and drivers, has also been suspected of harness race fixing that might not even exist."
Also.... from http://www.theage.com.au/sport/horse...02-1345ux.html
Perna says harness racing anti-corruption measures are far less robust than those in thoroughbred racing. This is despite the fact that the headquarters of the two sporting codes are next to each other. Says Perna: "Harness racing has nothing like the integrity measures in thoroughbred. But all they need to do is cross the driveway to see how it could be done."
Yeh????
