GAMING COMMISSION - RACING (REVENUE) > Medication and drugs.
Short Summary
The provided legal document content governs the penalties for violations of rules related to medication or drugs in horses in the context of horse racing. It applies to trainers in horse racing. The penalties for violations are based on the penalty guidelines established in the Association of Racing Commissioners International Uniform Classification Guidelines Version 14.4. Trainers who receive penalties for medication violations based on a horse testing positive for a drug are assigned points based on the penalty class. The stewards or the commission may assign fewer points or no points if the violation is due to environmental contamination. The document also specifies the suspension periods based on the cumulative points in the trainer’s record of violations. Aggravating and mitigating circumstances, as well as the trainer’s prior record of medication violations, are considered when determining the penalty. Multi-medication violation points are intended to be an additional penalty for trainers with a pattern of violations.
