My understanding is that to test over 200 it needs to be injected. Some racing areas have 50 as there limitand Hong Kong has 100, IF the feed had that much cobalt in that company should be in a lot of trouble!! Any trainer giving their horses large amounts of it should be banned for life. GONSTA, Huey and Los Lobos 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Lobos 139 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 I agree Goat, It is not as many people think about condemning anyone before they are proven cheats but about the treatment that brings an animal to have such large doses of a harmful drug in its system. I believe there are trainers that try to get as close to the limit as possible and others that don't want a bar of it. When the industry is in such a poor state it brings out the worst in some people and I for one want these people exposed. As much as I want those guilty to be bought to task I equally want anyone falsely accused to be able to go about what is a very difficult career with dignity again. If the need to win is so great that one cares little for the demise of the animal they need to be accountable. I think its time the RIU made a statement declaring where it is at because the industry are sick of the poor performance of people put into positions of responsibility failing dismally to do their job. I agree harsh penalties for anyone proven to be cheating in an attempt tp stem the flow. To be waiting for almost a year and still no charge makes a mockery of the RIU. MAYBE ITS TIME PEOPLE GOT TOGETHER AND DEMAND SOME ANSWERS. GONSTA, Huey and puha 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puha 2,177 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 Listening to the head speak each week on PE s segment doesn't instill much confidence. Still at least he can rely on the desperate and vindictive to use the 0800 dob in a mate line to do the dirty work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but they don't all have positive drug swabs in the back ground either, the stable is going HORRIBLE this year... Sure makes the cynic in you wonder?? Go and compare this year's current stats with last year's and it doesn't make for pretty reading when your trying to defend them. They're missing something by the looks! Pretty sure Lance is a protected species and will end up getting a slap on the wrist tho, I await the outcome with a lot of interest.

Canelo 459 Report post Posted February 14, 2016 I hope it doesn't end up being a roll over on staff for incompetence. The poor guys get paid about $400 a week and are worked like mules most of the time. I'd much rather see them let off than pass the buck onto the working class. elbow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
