Racing: Dope saga to end
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE Jockey Club's investigation into the Doncaster dopings is expected to conclude today. A Disciplinary Committee inquiry, which opened in December 1991, will resume examining the cases of Norwich and Bravefoot, who were defeated at Doncaster, and Flying Diva at Yarmouth in September 1990. Each horse had a tranquiliser, acetylpromazine, in its system, but police and Jockey Club investigations have been exhausted. Today's hearing will consider the liability of the trainers concerned, Dick Hern and Barry Hills. Rule 53 puts the responsibility on trainers when horses fail dope tests.
