Mr Dempsey was interviewed at his property in Hororata on Friday 14th August 2015. He was co-operative and when informed of the nature of the positive test, he advised that he suspected that the greyhound may have got access to an open box of chocolates when the greyhound was left unattended in the house (by another person). 7. Mr Dempsey advised that he did not wish to have the reserve sample from the swab tested. 8. An identical box of “Old Gold Continental” chocolates has since been sourced and sent to the NZ Racing Laboratory for testing. Listed among its ingredients are cocoa beans which are known to contain caffeine. 9. Mr Dempsey was advised of the results from the Laboratory in relation to the sample of chocolates. Mr Dempsey’s response Mr Dempsey told the hearing that he does not as a rule allow his greyhounds inside his house, but that on this occasion, it was his partner, who treated this dog as a pet, who let the dog inside. At first he wasn’t sure if the greyhound had eaten chocolates, but his partner confirmed to him that she understood that it had."
