Just earlier this month, a Queensland greyhound trainer in the name of Mr. Frack Churchill was found guilty for two positive swabs to the same drug on his two greyhounds Pierre Bouchee and Young Black Onyx.

Stewards convened an inquiry last Friday, 21st of November 2008, basically for the urine samples taken from two greyhounds, first from Pierre Bouchee then next from Young Black Onyx. Both greyhounds swabbed positive to Theobromine.

It was believed that the positive swab from Pierre Bouchee relates back at the Ipswich Greyhound Racing Club in Race 8 where Bouchee placed 3rd. While that of Young Black Onyx’s relates back at the same Ipswich Greyhound Racing Club but in Race 2 where Onyx placed 1st.

Based on evidence from the Racing Science Centre along with tests carried out on greyhound kibble and milk powder provided by Mr. Churchill himself, the said Mr. Churchill was charged under GAR 83 (2) (a) (d) which states;

(2) The owner, trainer or person in charge of a greyhound
(a) nominated to compete in an Event
(d) shall present the greyhound free of any drug

Eventually, Mr. Churchill appealed guilty for charges against him and fined $275 in total. He was also obliged to return all prize money he won previously in races where his greyhounds were found positive to swabs. Due to this, it was half way said that he will lose all claims for the respective placings his greyhound got in races aforementioned.
