Greyhound owner asks board to clear him

A high-profile greyhound owner implicated in a race-fixing scam has demanded the Irish Greyhound Board (IGB) clears his name.

Roscommon businessman Des Whyte has issued a statement in which he asks the IGB to release any information it has on the case.

The call follows a internal report into the Jun 2009 incident, which found evidence of a scam that operated at the Dundalk track for up to a year. The scheme involved a number of dogs.
