Just a comment about the dogs that tested positive to cocaine at Lincoln.

Martin there was a thread over on GT about this.

I knew one of the trainers that was listed that one of there dogs tested positive. The man has heart problems, has had I think 2 heart attacks, is about 45 and would never and has never used cocaine in his life!!!! I know this man personally can stand up for him.

I find it a bit silly for people to believe that someone would give cocaine to there dogs. For one thing the cost of cocaine. For 2 anyone who works at a race track knows how the pee test works and wouldn't try to sneak it by.

Now I"m not saying that they didn't test postive but you have to look at how many people handled these greyhounds from the time they left the trainers hands until the trainers picked them up after the race.

1) the lead out that held them on the scale
2) the lead out that brought them back to the jinny pit
3) the lead out that brought them back out of the jinny pit and reweighed them again
4) the paddock judge who read there ear numbers
5) the lead out that walked them out on the track
6) the box people that may have handled them at the boxes
7) any other leadout track personal that may have petted the dogs

So to blame one person, the trainer when so many other people handled the dog is just crazy.

I didn't think this whole racing thing would be brought up again but it looks as if some people would like to learn more and we are always willing to inform
