This is from The Age todayOriginally Posted by barney
Flemington Equine part-owner Dr Tom Brennan denied sending a $1000 bottle of supplement containing a high concentration of cobalt to trainer Sam Kavanagh when he gave evidence at a Racing NSW inquiry on Tuesday.
Brennan is a vet who was also a part-owner of Kavanagh’s ill-fated stayer Midsummer Sun, who returned illegal levels of cobalt and caffeine following his Gosford Cup win in January.
Kavanagh, who has been stood down by Racing NSW stewards, claimed in earlier evidence that he paid Flemington Equine $1000 for a bottle labelled ‘‘Vitamin Complex’’. It was later found to have a high dosage of cobalt in it.
Brennan refuted the evidence, saying he had never seen the bottle.
When shown the bottle at the inquiry, Brennan said: ‘‘I’ve never seen that bottle, or any bottle like it before.’’
He was then told that Flemington Equine nutrition consultant Samantha Potter said that she had sent the ‘‘Vitamin Complex’’ bottle on the orders of Brennan. The postage records are missing.
Potter also had given evidence that she had seen Brennan draw up a drip from a similar bottle at Danny O’Brien’s stable in September or October. Brennan was taken aback at the evidence and immediately refuted it.
This is the best link I can find to the story but is not quite the same

I hope that if one is found to be lying to an inquiry that they double your penalty

Don't know the background behind it (maybe she is just protecting her own vets licence?) but good on Samantha Potter for testifying against her boss (assuming her testimony is true).
have read and it is only hearsay but the vets in Sydney were blindsided by the bosses in Melbourne and had no idea what was going on.Also that Harness people were used to administer the vitamins?
Charges now been laid against Kavanagh snr Obrien and l and S Hope All have been charges with cobalt related issues and also the vet Brennan..Moody still under investigation
