Marshall horse tests positive for banned substance
Marshall was competing the stallion Derryinver Luxury Cruise at Cavan Equestrian Centre on May 20 when it was found to have in its system the anti-inflammatory phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone which is banned in competition. The horse was selected for sampling as the winner of the second leg of the Irish Sport Horse Studbook Series.
Following a hearing before a disciplinary panel, “Mr Marshall and Derryinver Luxury Cruise were given a 10-week period of ineligibility,” backdated to run from May 20 to July 29, resulting in the loss of all prizes won during this period.
