Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Michael Grassick:
I must just let the committee know that in my previous life before I took over the position of CEO of the Irish Racehorse Trainers Association I was a trainer for 35 years. Never in my time as a trainer or as CEO of the trainers' association has anyone ever approached me or given information that illegal substances were being used on horses in training. Never.
