Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion

Dr. Lynn Hillyer:

There is a range. The minimum sanction is €1,000, and the horse is inevitably disqualified from the race. There may be other stand-down periods or sanctions applied. The fine can then go up. There has been a €5,000 fine, and there has been a very significant fine recently. However, some of the cases are still undergoing process, so I do not believe I can comment on them.
