Jay4 30 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 Jon trum So if a manager of a company that has drug testing, tests positive, then all the management in the company should go because of one person. Come on man get a grip. Excluding this episode which 1 person is involved in and has got a good lengthy ban for through the judicial system, there has been more changes for the better here in the last 6 months than the last 5 years previous. It doesn't take two minutes for shit to get sorted when new blood comes in. I feel sorry for people, Anyone who decides to work/volunteerin this game because no matter how hard they try, the good they do and their own time they give up there is just people in this game that are just never happy and will moan and abuse them! They are on a hiding to nothing! Bugger that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Jay4 I am sure dogs are trained by people who aren't who they say they are for one reason or another so tell me what's better? who's who? have stakes gone up? more owner/trainers in the game? dogs more affordable? less injuries? better tracks? less positives? more staying races? better publicity?and I need to get a grip??

merv o brien 152 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 Aquaman.. They certainly do all that plus your turning them into something there not,, there greyhounds so just let them be what they are.. As for a bitch on these products you would have to be totally f----ed in the head to go breed from her,, your chance of success is very limited.... But the biggest issue with steroidal use is the depletion of Calcium from there bones, there has been some medical people out there think that it may deplete the bone structure by 65 to 75 percent of bone density. If you of the belief that by just increasing there calcium intake to supplement the steroidal use then your fooling yourself,it doesn't work that way... Just let them be what they are..

Also this certainly isn't the first time info has been leaked from board members.Its been happening for years. IMO the RIU have crucified Daveboy and if I was him I would be appealing the shit out of that sentence!

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.

What Davy Boy has done was very wrong and boy has he been dealt with in the most severe fashion, most definitely, wb 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. gary1, hedley, GONSTA and 1 other 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Symes 124 Report post Posted April 20, 2016 Quick question or 3 on the testing processes. When a swab is taken from a greyhound and sent to a lab for testing , How does the lab know if the test sample is from a Dog or Bitch ? Doesn't the sample just get labeled with a number and not a sex ? And if its not being tested for why wouldn't you give it to a Bitch before a big race if you were already doing it to a Dog ? Because if Steroids build muscle, aggression and strength why limit it to just Dogs it if was for say a big G1 race. gary1 and Gary Sharp 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
