Why would owners be on this list ?
Let’s say an owner uses multiple trainers. He buys “product “ and sends it to his trainers to use.
Not sure which "list" he is working from, but it would appear that there COULD be many "innocent" names on the list who were buying "legit" products, or even that this list was a composite "master" mailing list used to promote products??https://paulickreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/GX-715_Redacted-equestology-list.pdf
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEEast Rutherford, NJ – NOVEMBER 2, 2023The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Hon. Mary Kay Vyskocil,has entered Orders of Conviction for Seth Fishman and Lisas Gianelli each having been chargedas Defendants in the matter of United States v. Navarro, Docket No. 1:20-cr-00160-MKV– SDNY.Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York ,whoprosecuted these cases, announced at the time that Seth Fishman DVM received a sentence of 11years in prison for his role at the helm of an approximately twenty-year scheme to manufacture,market, and sell to racehorse trainers and others in the racehorse industry “untestable”performance enhancing drugs for use in professional horseracing . Williams further announcedthat Lisa Giannelli received a sentence of 42 months for her role in that scheme as she wascharged and prosecuted by his office arising from his Office’s multi-year investigation of theabuse of racehorses through the use of performance enhancing drugs. Source: www.justice.govPress Release of US Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York.Among the volumes of evidence introduced by the US Attorney in the prosecution of thesecases are trial exhibits, offered in open court and now available to the public, which reveal theidentity of numerous persons who have purchased prohibited substances - BB3(EPO) or TB-7Thymosyn(sp). Persons identified in the lists below and categorized under those substances,are referenced in those trial exhibits released by the US Attorney SDNY office to theMeadowlands at its request.Also, as part of its investigation, the Federal government conducted its own collection of bloodand urine samples from racehorses, both post-race and from out of competition testing. Belowis a list under the category, Drug Positives Federal Investigation, identifying trainers whose horsestested positive in those tests.This remains a serious matter. Consequently, the Meadowlands is conducting its own internalinvestigation given these revelations. And until that investigation is completed, theMeadowlands has determined that all individuals listed below will be placed on theMeadowlands exclusion list. Furthermore, to avoid any appearance of conflict or improprietyregarding a horse’s eligible to stakes during the month of November in which horses owned byJeff Gural may race, the above exclusion will be effective as of December 1, 2023.We believe this time frame will also allow owners, should they choose, an opportunity to changetrainers and/or horses in partnership with excluded owners. We anticipate the Meadowlandsinvestigation will be time consuming. We also expect that additional disclosures will be released, and ifso, where warranted, the Meadowlands will act on that information. We will also require that any change oftrainers or dissolution of any partnerships with excluded owners will require proof to thesatisfaction of The Meadowlands. We believe these steps are warranted per the revelationsfrom the above prosecutions and are necessary in the interest of the industry we all love andwish to preserve.BB3 (EPO)TB-7 Thymosyn(sp)Dylan Davis Ryan BellamyNick Devita Anthony ButtittaGareth Dowse Frank Chick- Chick HarnessJeff Gillis Jamen DavidovichBrian Malone Eddie DennisJohn Mungillo Brady GalliersEric Prevost Rick HowlesRichard Silverman Anthony LakeLeroy Slabaugh Betty Jean Davis LareHoward Taylor Kevin LareJohn LeggioGreg McNairCynthia MilanoAnthony NapolitanoHoward SavageArthur StaffordTrevor StaffordDrug Positives Federal InvestigationAl Annunziata Propantheline (2Jenn Bongiorno Ethamsylate (4)Bob Bongiorno EthamsylateScott DiDomenico Ethamsylate (2)Jeff Gillis EthamsylateNick Sodano, Sr. Cobalt
Because owners are going to be held accountable in the future. Especially owners that represent trainers in some of these offenses.
