Greyhound breeder appeals drugs finding

An Irish greyhound breeder has launched an appeal after the sport’s watchdog in Britain found him to be in breach of drugs and animal welfare racing rules and warned him off indefinitely. 

West Cork-based Tom Tanner disputes the findings of the Greyhound Board of Great Britain’s (GBGB) disciplinary committee after two inquiries, details of which were published in its publication, Calendar, on June 3.

“I dispute the findings, I am appealing, and I am confident of overturning both decisions,” Mr Tanner said.
