I will now turn to recommendation 11, which I thought was a misprint, where it states, "The Committee recommends that the ongoing issues concerning the breeding of greyhounds with dogs deceased for two years or more, registered in the stud book by the ICC, must be addressed immediately".

They are taking part in races illegally. Is this correct?
