Greyhound owners pass vote of no confidence in Taggart

GREYHOUND owners in the west of Ireland have passed a vote of no confidence in Bord na Gcon chairman Paschal Taggart.

The western branch of the Greyhound Owners and Breeders Association passed the vote following a meeting held on Monday to discuss the sport’s recent doping controversy.

The controversy erupted after it emerged that Mr Taggart had authorised the suppression of positive drug findings against trainers Paul Hennessy and John Kiely.
