Okay. Would it be inappropriate for anybody who is in any way involved in selling or trading with horses to have any role in a regulatory body with responsibility for anti-doping? I am not suggesting that they are involved in the executive or the day-to-day business, but am referring to the perception of things and the perception of this being a clean situation. Given that the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, IHRB, is a self-selecting body and its directors are not appointed by the Government, is there not something out of date and unhealthy about the whole appearance of that?
