Are there any personal connections between the IHRB and BHP given that Dr. Hillyer cited BHP when dismissing Mr. Paul Kimmage's story the weekend before last citing the BHP examination of the issue? That is one issue. Of the six horses from Ireland sent to the UK trainers, three tested positive on hair samples for keto steroids. A leading toxicologist carried out an 11- page expert report. The BHA report was only four pages. Does Dr. Hillyer have any comment on that?
