IGB faces €1.5m lawsuit after top dog is drugged

The Irish Greyhound Board is facing a €1.5m lawsuit and a demand to annul the result of the 2010 Derby final after a top dog was found to have been drugged in its care.

A statement of claim has been filed by Patrick Buckley, the trainer of Tullymurry Act.

Tullymurry Act dog was adjudged to have been given a sedative after he was presented at Shelbourne Park on the night of the 2010 final — he trailed off last.
