The fallout continues from last week’s raid at Ballintogher Stud in County Kildare which led to the seizure of a significant quantity of unlicensed drugs, as the Sunday Independent published details of a phone conversation involving John Warwick, an equine therapist who operates from the stud, as well as naming some of the trainers who sent horses for treatment by Warwick over a period of several weeks in the summer.

In a separate interview with the Racing Post, meanwhile, Warwick admitted that he had been in possession of substances which should not have been in Ireland when the stud was raided, while also insisting there was “no dope” involved in the seizure.
