‘Most unusual’ greyhound doping case sent to gardaí

A “most unusual” case in which a greyhound was doped “by an unidentified person” has been referred to gardaí by the Irish Greyhound Board.

The independent Control Committee which decides on cases of alleged doping found, in one of its rulings last month, that Mikey’s Gold had been administered a prohibited substance chlorpromazine — antipsychotic medication primarily used to treat psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia — on January 23, 2016.

The dog was racing at Waterford greyhound stadium on the day the urine sample was taken.
