A local inquiry was conducted by telephone. Mr Kennedy admitted that he regularly fed category 2 meat. He did not provide any receipts. He was not asked to, and did not, name his supplier. It was submitted on behalf of the GRB that this behaviour was reckless. The Disciplinary Committee wholly agreed with that submission. The Committee found Mr Kennedy in breach of rules 152(i), 174(i)(b) and 214 of the rules of racing. Mark Bird, on behalf of GRB, proposed that a letter be written to Mr Kennedy warning him of the risks involved in his irresponsible behaviour. The Disciplinary Committee considered its powers to impose penalties under the GBGB rules of racing. The least penalty it could impose was a caution. The Committee felt that such a penalty was appropriate in Mr Kennedy’s case, but was mindful that he had not had the opportunity to address them regarding the correct level of penalty. In those circumstances the Disciplinary Committee ordered that Mr Kennedy be cautioned on or after 20 December 2016, unless before that date he informed the Director of Regulation that he wished to address the Committee, in which case the matter would be listed for hearing. Professional Trainer Mr E Gaskin On 19 May 2016 at Romford Stadium Mr Gaskin’s greyhound ROUGH BRIAN tested positive for both the parent drug and metabolites. Mr Gaskin stated that he only ever fed category 3 meat, provided receipts and named his supplier. The view of the GRB, with which the Disciplinary Committee agreed, was that he had done all that he reasonably could to discharge his duties as a trainer. The Committee found Mr Gaskin in breach of rules 152(i), 174(1)(b) and 214 of the rules of racing and ordered that no further action be taken against him. Registered Sales Agent Ross Myles On 9 May 2016 Mr Myles brought one greyhound, QUOIN PRINCE to the sales trials at Pelaw Grange Stadium, which tested negative for the parent drug, but positive for metabolites at a level which was below the new Recommended Limit of Detection. Although Mr Myles is a registered sales agent his role on this occasion was limited to transporting the greyhound to the sales. At the local inquiry, it emerged that the greyhound had been fed category 2 meat by its owner, but not by Mr Myles. The Disciplinary Committee found Mr Myles in breach of rules 152(i), 174(1) (b) and 214 of the rules of racing and ordered that no further action be taken against him. Registered Sales Agent Mr D Jordan It is alleged that on 9 May 2016 Mr Jordan brought two greyhounds, ARCHATON SHELLY (now PIPEYS DREAM), and ARCHATON SILVER, to the sales trials at Pelaw Grange Stadium, which tested positive for the parent drug, and positive for metabolites at a level which was consistent with the routine feeding of contaminated meat, in line with the Newry cases. Upon considering the papers, and in particular what was said at the local inquiry, it was plain to the Disciplinary Committee that there were factual differences between the case put by the GRB and Mr Jordan’s response which could not be resolved without a full hearing, which Mr Jordan could attend if he so wished. The Committee therefore ordered that this case be adjourned for a contested hearing, preferably before a different panel. Greyhound Trainer Mr J Blencowe On 17 May 2016 QUIVERS MACHU, a greyhound trained by Mr Blencowe was sampled at Towcester Stadium and tested positive for the parent drug and metabolites. Mr Blencowe stated that he only ever fed category 3 meat, provided receipts and named his supplier. The view of the GRB, with which the Disciplinary Committee agreed, was that he had done all that he reasonably could to discharge his duties as a trainer. The Committee found Mr Blencowe in breach of rules 152(i), 174(1)(b) and 214 of the rules of racing and ordered that no further action be taken against him. Greyhound Trainer Mr I Bradford On 7 June 2016 GLENBOWEN CONOR, a greyhound trained by Mr Bradford was sampled at Perry Barr Stadium and tested positive for the presence of pentobarbital metabolites. Mr Bradford did not say what category of meat he fed his dogs, but that it was the best food available. He named his supplier at the time of the sample and said he had changed supplier since the positive test. He provided receipts from his new supplier, although these did not show what category of meat was being supplied. The view of the GRB, with which the Disciplinary Committee agreed, was that he had done all that he reasonably could to discharge his duties as a trainer. The Committee found Mr Bradford in breach of rules 152(i), 174(1)(b) and 214 of the rules of racing and ordered that no further action be taken against him. 2 Brighton & Hove Stadium – TIMBERLEE LASS – Professional Trainer Miss N McEllistrim Professional Trainer Norah McEllistrim was in attendance with Peter Miller, racing manager of Brighton & Hove Stadium, Paul Illingworth, senior stipendiary steward and Professor Tim Morris, independent scientific adviser. On 25 June 2016, the greyhound TIMBERLEE LASS ran in a two-dog trial over 550m. A post race sample was taken which upon analysis tested positive for cimetidine. The Disciplinary Committee heard evidence from Professor Tim Morris, independent scientific adviser, to the effect that cimetidine is available as a veterinary medicine and is available as an over-the-counter preparation. It has an action in dogs in reducing gastric acid production and is indicated for the systematic treatment of gastritis in dogs. In order for there to be a breach of rule 174 (i)(a) or (b) there must have been administration (174 (i)(a)) or presence (174 (i)(b)) of a substance which could affect the performance of the greyhound or prejudice the welfare of the greyhound. Professor Morris was clear that cimetidine is not a substance which by its nature could affect the wellbeing of any greyhound – it would have no effect on a healthy greyhound and improve the wellbeing of a greyhound with gastritis. It would only be a substance that could affect the performance of a greyhound when given to a greyhound with gastritis, 6 VOL 8 NO 25 16 DECEMBER 2016
indirectly affecting its performance by relieving that condition. Miss McEllistrim gave clear and unequivocal evidence that this greyhound required no such treatment and was a greyhound which enjoyed very good health. The Disciplinary Committee found Miss McEllistrim to be an honest witness who was doing her best to assist the Committee in circumstances when, in fact, she could provide no explanation for the presence of cimetidine in this greyhound. The Committee accepted her evidence as to the greyhound’s health and accordingly found that cimetidine was not a substance which by its nature could affect the performance of the greyhound. Accordingly, there was no breach of rules 174(i)(a) or (b) and rule 217. It follows that there was also no breach of rule 152 (i) and/or (ii).
