[Stripes]

It will be interesting to see what happens with Jay Cochlin for this positive test. There should be criminal charges for anyone found guilty of giving a horse meth.

Notification of Positive test.

Were the Northfield trainers with same test criminally charged?

Someone needs to explain to me how a horse under the care of a licensed individual can come up positive for narcotics and the penalty is maybe a 2 week suspension and maybe a 2K fine. If you got pulled over in your car and you possessd these substances, you would be facing in some cases 2 or 3 year prison terms yet the state commissions just look the other way. It's a disgrace.

With his long lengthy history, I’d expect a big suspension & fine, will be gone a year or more…

Can't speak for every single case but Aderal is easier to get in the NFLD paddock than TYLENOL!💯

Ask Steck or anyone else that trained for Soulsbey.

Racing Ruling
In order to protect the integrity of horse racing in Ontario and to prioritize the wellbeing and safety of race horses, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued a Ruling containing monetary penalties totalling $10,000 and a two-year suspension to a standardbred trainer in relation to multiple post-race positive tests for the Class I substances methamphetamine and amphetamine.

 

The AGCO takes positive test matters seriously and holds participants accountable through the positive test penalty guidelines and the Rules of Racing. As a result of industry feedback on the process, better information to educate the industry and the general public on regulatory action taken relating to positive tests is now available.

So Jonathan Panos for sure  (issued today) and Jay Cochlin presumably the same

It would be physically impossible for someone to administer the amount of meth these horses are testing for.

1 picogram = 1 trillionth of a gram
One picogram is the average weight of the DNA in one cell of a hummingbird. That's not the average weight of the whole cell. That's the average weight of only the DNA in that one cell

these are clearly contamination cases, which still falls under trainer responsibility I guess.

Horse racing isn’t the real world. Sad isn’t it!!

On the money, Mike. I suggest crucifixion with nails, not rope!   It's like I am truly stuck on crucifixion with nails and hanging with bailing wire. Attention getter.

What about the two trainers in feb that had a class 1 and the other class two
Crickets.....

In my area drug dealers are arrested and they are back on the street dealing the next day.

I know someone in Pike County PA who was just sentenced to a 6 month prison term for selling a quarter pound of weed to an undercover cop. I guess it depends on where you live.
