Trainer whose greyhound failed drug test 'no case to answer'

It emerged in September 2017 that urine samples taken from Clonbrien Hero at Curraheen Park greyhound stadium in Cork tested positive for benzoylecgonine on June 24, July 1, and July 22 in 2017

The trainer of a champion greyhound which tested positive for traces of a cocaine metabolite has “no case to answer”, a new report has found.

The greyhound industry’s Control Committee finding in relation to Clonbrien Hero trainer, Graham Holland, follows a lengthy disciplinary hearing process which was triggered after the dog failed three drug tests over a few weeks in the summer of 2017.
