Jockey Kevin Brouder has described the fallout he has faced from the Viking Hoard controversy as ‘unfair and hurtful’.
Brouder pulled up Viking Hoard after jumping six flights of hurdles at Tramore on October 18th, 2018, after which a urine sample was found to contain hydroxyethylpromazinehydroxide (HEPS), a metabolite of acepromazine (ACP), which is a sedative and prohibited under the rules of racing.
