GONSTA

Pretty obvious why he's sorry isn't it? Because he got caught... 

Tell me Craig how this unfortunate saga has so many flaws in it,, what is unfortunate is he didn't get life and it's unfortunate they didn't catch the rest of this people involved in this sorry saga but I'm hoping they will be moped up in the near future..
And don't blame the lawyer he didn't do the crime

I never called him a cheat, I never have, I was just comparing the penalties that M Roberts got to David Scott and thought there was a huge disparity between the two, considering one actually did return a positive swab, and the other one actually didn't but intended to.
We have C. Roberts on here now telling us that information has been leaked for years to people ( not sure who or by who) and that this is no big deal and he has been hard done by, a great attitude by a well known public trainer.
 

Eagle, what Davey boy has done is expose the cancer thats been allowed to fester for years. We are now at a point where i suspect many trainers out there are doping their dogs with drugs that are not been screened for. Its not a level playing field.
With the free licence being granted to use steroids on dogs because the authorities have been so woefully negligent in pursuing these drugs, its now becoming clearer why we are seeing so many broken hocks etc. We know that steroids weaken the bones. So we can add that together with over racing and come to the conclusion that the tracks are playing a lot less in contributing to the injury's, but rather its more the fault of cheats and other low life that race the crap out of the poor animal.

Could you please make a suggestion as to what the otherside of this story could be because I've been racking my brain and I most certainly cant think off one?! He tried to cheat and got caught....simple. He clearly has very little remorse given he tried to say he was attempting to help a battling trainer and make himself look like a good guy whose been crucified!! Pleeease... 

The RIU didn't crucify anyone.
The RIU asked the JCA for a stiffer sentence than the one which handed down.
David Scott breached the rules. David Scott was given the chance to defend the charges in the legal system & choose to plead guilty. David Scott was sentenced.
Where's the problem in that? That's exactly the way the justice system is meant to work in a democratic society.
Will the police have interest in pursuing the dropped charge further? Well they should. Threats of taking someone's life is a much more serious matter than attempting to have a dog drugged for personal advantage.

Did you write a testimonial for your friend Davey Boy supporting him and his character?. I ask this question as word has it, a few trainers did.
As for the blue magic, yes a disgraceful part of history, but it wasn't corrupt administrators doing the administering. This case is. As for leaked information regarding drugs to certain license holders to gain an advantage, this is news to me. Have you been privy to this information?, if so have you reported it, or acted on it?.
Your mate Davey Boy is a rotten cheat, and i find you defending him insulting to all the honest trainers, honest breeders, honest owners out there. He should of got life. He has brought disgrace to the sport, and i just hope the RIB check other stored swabs for drugs such as Fertagyl from anyone that had links to the rat.
And as you point out, there is always two sides to a story, and the other side to this one is, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I get the awful feeling half the dogs in NZ are running on non swabable drugs.
Never the less i give you credit for sticking up for your friend in a time when he's probably friendless.
JG.

Scott a sweaty face.

Wow that's absolutely pathetic. Join betfair if you haven't already. Especially if your betting live, never gets suspended and your betting into a far more competitive %. You will never regret it.

hey tony this reeks of a dead rat to me.....so do you pay your life long best mate the stakes from these dogs from now on by bank transfer or cash? Im guessing the later so theres no money trial. Dont forget he also attempted to tuck you mate as an owner...your dogs could of raced drug free against his "loaded" dogs and got beaten....I thought I read they had stopped this transferring and selling of dogs by disqualified persons soon after the livebaiting scandal in aus? Forfeiture of all his dog's to a trust run by the association with all winnings monies going to charity is a great idea I reckon.....if you wana cheat ya peers and get caught you loose the lot....period.

Scott no dogs

I've had a BF a/c for years - by far the most enjoyable platform and in most cases best odds.
Definitely the best in play a/c.

It's an interesting (albeit frustrating) application of statistics.
If you did four draws in a row, the chance of a dog getting box 1 would be tiny - a fraction of 1%.
However, each draw is a discrete random event so the change of a dog drawing box 1 the NEXT draw is still the same - 12.5% regardless of what has happened in the past.
It's literally the luck of the draw.
 

It's been a couple of months since this topic was last visited.
Ascot greyhounds are an hour & a bit from the first race today.
Will the 390m races be electronically started?
Hand started?
Some form of #8 wire combination of the two as in the past?

As i understand it GOM, bitch's are tested, dogs are not. No threshhold levels established for dogs. The authorities have only had about ten years to establish a threshhold, not to mention many overseas study's that would have one in place. They have been able to detect steroids in human athletes, males, since before Ben Johnson. Just more shoddy work from administration.

Agreed. Well done Nathan. You are an absolute disgrace @DaveyBoy ... Should have been banned for life.
