Interesting from the BHA webiste and Andrea Artzeni.
The Stewards held an enquiry following a report from the Sampling Officer that Andrea Atzeni had been unable to provide a urine sample and now wished to leave the course so as to ride at another meeting. They interviewed the rider and the Sampling Officer. Having heard their evidence the Stewards accepted the rider’s explanation that he was unable to provide a sufficient sample as he had been riding at a low weight and had run out of time to do so as he needed to leave the course immediately. Under Rule(B)8, the Stewards granted him an exemption from providing a sample.
My question, if they cannot provide urine, why not a blood a sampe instead of urine. Strange
Or if not that he should have been tested at the other course – or is that too bleeding obvious?
I really don’t see why jockeys need to be tested. Ok breathalysed, but why test for anything else. Not being funny, but why doesn’t anyone on here or in the BHA try keeping their natural body weight at around 40% what it should be. Then perform demanding sporting tasks. IT CAN’T BE DONE, and the horses doesn’t run faster by the way.

So the French should not have tested Dettori, for example?
I take the stand that jockeys should not be tested for appetite suppressant substances, as they bare no difference on the result. I felt the Detroit ban to be morally un just.

Morally unjust – he had a Class A drug in his system
How did he get to both tracks? Not driving I hope.Is this the new rule now? No waiting for a pee? Why not inform him a pee is needed as soon as he arrives? You can please the stewards if you are innocent.You can dodge them too.

I seem to recognize this poster under another name, but may be getting paranoid after spending too much time in the Lounge. His style and poor spelling remind me very much of someone else. I won’t bother getting Inspector Gamble on the case, as it now appears that he can’t solve a Teatime Teaser or Sun crossword.

Those horrible French also nailed Fallon. What was happening in the UK?
Which brings us back to the original posted observation, and from that, perhaps we can agree that a little leniency in this department can be reasonably understood.
I would just like to point out that I, by no means advocate the use of of drugs(illegal) in or out of the horseracing industry. However given the circumstances of a jockeys day-to-day life, in some cases, at certain times, one can understand why a jockey may self prescribe appetite suppressant substances. It is for this reason I felt Detori’s band was harsh and unnecessary.
