GODOLPHIN FALLOUT NEWS: “BHA
Drugs Team begins investigation (p5)?
BHA Drugs Team? Where is the BHA Equus Medication Team?
BHA Drugs Team? Where is the BHA Equus Medication Team?
Jon Lees “BHA team to
begin its investigation at Moulton Paddocks”.
Tuesday April 30
Jon Lees “Butler in new steroid scandal. BHA refutes
claims of widespread drug use”.
“THE BHA last night sought
to dismiss the perception racing had a widespread steroid problem as the sport
grappled with the revelation that a further steroids case was being
investigated involving a drug claimed to have been prescribed to more than 100
horses in Newmarket.
“Days after Godolphin
trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni received an eight-year disqualification for
administering, banned anabolic steroids to 15 horses in what was described as
an exceptional case, a second Newmarket trainer, Gerard Butler, admitted he was
at the centre of an inquiry that has been ongoing since before the Al Zarooni
scandal broke …..
ASSURANCES NOT FORTHCOMING
FROM THE BHA, PAGE 4
Jon Lees: “Butler fears same fate as
Al Zarooni
NEWS Q & A Ten
questions we put to BHA arising from Butler
revelations. An unfortunate coincidence two cases come to light in a week’ more later
Wednesday May 1
Jon Lees “ ‘Underhand’ Al
Zarooni may contest eight-year ban.
“MAHMOOD AL ZAROONI was
last night considering an appeal against his 8 year ban for administering
anabolic steroids to 15 horses.
“The bombshell development
came on the day when Godolphin’s former trainer was roundly condemned in the
detailed findings, published yesterday, of the BHA disciplinary panel who
accused him of an “attempt at cheating” and “underhand administration of
illegal medication”.
NEWS (p5)
Jon Lees: “I’ll support Butler all the way says
Spence
“THE owner of the Gerard
Butler – trained horse first treated with the drug (medication) that has
provoked another investigation into
anabolic steroids yesterday said he was standing by the beleaguered Newmarket trainer as he
was only doing his best to get the horse fit, and not using the substance for
performance enhancement.
“Alan Spence who owned
Little Black Book, said Butler
had been guided by the vet who prescribed Sungate, a drug which contains banned
substance stanozolol, in his treatment of the horse and that the BHA should
have been more on the ball and identified a problem laast summer. More later.
Thursday May 2
Graham Green: “Black
Caviar ‘never given steroids’ “Poms need to look at themselves not us says
trainer of Aussie icon”.
“BLACK CAVIAR’S trainer
Peter Moody reacted angrily yesterday when forced to defend the reputation of Australia ’s
now-retired icon after she was dragged into the anabolic steroid scandal
threatening to engulf British racing
“Moody insisted the
powerfully built six-year-old, who retired a national heroine last month
following a glittering unbeaten 25-race career, had never received steroids,
and revealed she was tested twice before her narrow victory in the Diamond
Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot last summer.
“Although Britain (BHA) outlaws all use of anabolic steroids on
racehorses in training, Do they? The BHA are so vague about everything to do with any and all
Equus rights and needs, flabbergasting to say the least. This BHA's negative attitude on the Equus front is to not bother at all, end of story.
BHA prefers to take everything to do with all Equus Zone issues for granted. BHA do
not have an ‘Equus Medication Team’ they
only have a ‘Non Equus Drugs Team’ BHA do not have a 'Bloodhorse Literate Whip Rule'. BHA only have a Bloodhorse Illiterate Whip Rule. What does this BHA attitude tell the world about the BHA government's attitude? What exactly does this attitude signify? What does that tell us about this BHA regulation
government? The BHA government is not fit for purpose. the authorities in
Australia only require the substance to have cleared the horse’s system on the day of a race, a policy that
provoked trainer Roger Charlton to pose the question being asked by many of his
colleagues when he tweeted: “Was BLACK CAVIAR
treated with anabolic steroids during her career, and will any of the
Australian horses due to come to Royal Ascot (2013) be tested?
“The crisis was
sparked when Mahmood Al Zarooni last month admitted administering anabolic
streroids to 15 horses, and the situation worstened on Monday when Gerard
Butler revealed his yard was at the centre of a separate investigation and
claimed more than 100 horses in Newmarket
could have received the same treatment.
“ After being
given an eight- year ban last week, Al Zarooni dropped a bombshell on Tuesday
when raising the possibility of lodging an appeal, which would most likely be
against the length of his disqualification as he pleaded guilty to the
offences.”
BHA FALSE
PERSPECTIVE
In context: Al
Zarooni acting as Litigant in Person was forced into pleading guilty by others.
But he was not represented by any others at the BHA disciplinary hearing. His
appeal needs to embrace the facts that the BHA do not bother to have an ‘Equus
Medication Team’ the BHA only have a ‘ Bloodhorse Illiterate Drugs Team’ .
As neither do the BHA bother to have ‘An Equus
Bloodhorse Literate Whip Rule. The BHA only have a ‘Bloodhorse Illiterate Whip
Rule. The BHA are therefore guilty on all counts themselves. Gerard Butler, Al Zarooni,
Godolphin, Darley, Sheikh Mohammed cannot be found guilty of any of the bloodhorse illiterate BHA charges alleged
against them.
The BHA are failing this most wonderful of all sports. The BHA ignore all this sport's vital needs, where is the BHA's ‘Equus Medication Team’? Where is the BHA's Equus Drugs Team'? Where is the BHA's ‘Bloodhorse Literate Whip Rule’? Where is the BHA 'Bloodhorse
Literate Equus Drugs Team’. Where are any of these BHA Equus Zones in practice? They do not exist. end of story.
SINCE THE EARLY 1980's OUR OWN QUEEN ELIZABETH 11
TOGETHER WITH HER FRIEND MONTY ROBERTS USA
SEND A
POWERFUL MESSAGE TO THE WORLD AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN IT
ON THE TRUE MEANING OF CARING FOR, AND UNDERSTANDING HORSES, CHILDREN, ALL THE ANIMAL KINGDOM AND APPLICABLE TO ALL HUMAN LIFE.
Who are the BHA to make a mockery of the above, to make a mockery and take all the rights and needs away from the horses and all the people who work with the horses every day at the dangerous sharp end of horseracing, without which there would be no horseracing. To put true horsemen to include their horses through hell on earth. What sort of people are these at BHA?
