Dr. Sonja Egan:

Based on the allegation of which we are speaking in the programme - and I do not want to get too far into it because of the investigation that is under way - it appears as though a secondary microchip was inserted. That could occur in a number of ways. There is a small number of microchips that can be reabsorbed in horses. Where that is the case, the original vet will notify us that that has happened. We will then update it that there are two microchips in the system. In another case, a person might forge a vet’s signature or stamp, or the vet could be in on the alleged illegal activity-----
