Concerns over doping in greyhound industry

Problems in the Irish greyhound industry have been laid bare by a special review which has outlined a catalogue of concerns over anti-doping measures and claims of “ongoing reputational damage”.

The findings are contained in the Anti-Doping and Medication Review, commissioned by the Irish Greyhound Board (IGB) and conducted on its behalf by UK-based firm Scientialis, led by international veterinary surgeon Tim Morris.

The Morris review was commissioned in December 2014 and published last Friday — almost a year since it was completed.
