Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Anti-Doping Strategy of the Irish Thoroughbred Industry: Discussion

3:00 pm

Dr. Lynn Hillyer:

That is an interesting point. The adverse finding would not be announced as soon as it was technically found in the sample because, by our rules, the adverse finding is not confirmed until after the panel has made a judgment on the matter. The panel would confirm the adverse analytical finding being there. While the adverse analytical finding exists once it has been found in the laboratory, sanction would follow from the panel making a judgment. It is not confirmed as an adverse analytical finding until after the referrals committee has heard the case. Is that clear?
