Botched probe missed racing scam that used falsified records

A meticulous scam rigged races using falsified qualification records but escaped detection because of a botched investigation carried out by the Irish Greyhound Board.

This was among the most serious findings of an internal panel established by the IGB when it was forced to reopen the case.

The panel’s draft report was recently considered by the IGB. On Friday, it was accepted and its recommendations will be implemented across the country.
