Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

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

Ms Cliodhna Guy:

I will focus on the anti-doping or adverse analytical findings in relation to equines. Investigations are generally completed quite quickly. Sometimes a disciplinary process takes a bit longer to progress. I would also like to clarify that there is no average time and there is no set time. These investigations can take time. One might have quite a considerable amount of analyses to be done on samples to try to best identify the origin or the source of the adverse analytical finding. Perhaps Dr. Hillyer is better placed to answer this.
