Trainer Fenton loses licence

Horse racing trainer Philip Fenton has been disqualified from holding a licence for three years following an Irish Turf Club hearing at the weekend.

Fenton was called before officials after being found guilty at a district court hearing last month of possessing anabolic steroids and other banned substances.

A cardboard box packed with 25 bottles and containers of animal remedies was found hidden in a horse spa in his yard in Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary, during a search by Department of Agriculture officials in January 2012.
