BEST of the BETS

Are the bha a fit and proper organisation ?

When his dodgy trainer was found out doping his horses, he sent in his own 'lackey' Lord Stevens to investigate and exonerate the Sheik.Guess the trainer is doing some hard labour in Dubai for getting found out.

Stevens interviewed several figures within Sheikh Mohammed's equine operations, including the disgraced former trainer Mahmood al-Zarooni who was banned by eight years by the British Horseracing Association in April 2013 for injecting thoroughbreds at the Godolphin stable with performance-enhancing anabolic steroids.

As revealed by the Guardian in September, the thoroughbred scandal was followed by later incidents within Sheikh Mohammed's endurance set-up, with veterinary goods described as "potentially toxic and dangerous to horses" seized from a Dubai Royal Air Wing flight at Stansted airport by the UK Border Agency and the Veterinary Medicines Directorate in May. Further unlicensed products were seized at Moorley Farm, owned by the Sheikh's Darley Stud operation

had completely forgotten about that

He’s got friends in high places I guess :mask:

He may be a perfectly pleasant chap ..but he looks the type you wouldn't want to meet in any dark alleys . Sinister creature.

Well we have jockeys who have been banned for snorting drugs also the drinkers . They all are allowed to carry on riding what does that give the young ones who look up to them what's right and what's wrong.:roll:

drinking and doing drugs that don’t affect your performance on a horse, or drugging a horse to win and treating women like animals?

I know which one I think is worse

how do you work out drinking and taking drugs dosent affect you ? or am i not getting your reply.im having a blond moment.

Being pissed will not improve a jockeys performance
Ditto doing a line or two of coke a few days before a race.
Alcohol would not improve a jockeys performance full stop.
I cant see how cocaine would improve it even if taken in the stalls before? Might make him a bit chatty at the off and paranoid as they hit the finish :lol:

Versus...

Drugging a horse would make a big difference

As for treating women like shlt, imprisoning them etc, well that's obv.

The voice of reason! It gets better! Moral high ground from an absolute buffoon!

Lol Hippo, he is truly deluded!

Wouldn`t trust any of them from that part of the world, there all wronguns

different cultures . and very different laws. plenty of people have found that out. as for human rights we dont have any !
