Description: Russell Mansley Disqualified For Six Months & Loses $35,000 In
Prizemoney Over Positive Swabs

Greyhound Racing <http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/> NSW Stewards
<http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/tag/stewards> last week finalised
four inquiries into positive swabs obtained from three Russell Mansley
trained and Lorraine Atchison owned greyhounds
<http://www.australianracinggreyhound.co ... ing/new-so
uth-wales-greyhound-racing/firocoxib-positive-swab-inquiries-sound-industry-
warning-could-prove-expensive-for-russell-mansley-lorraine-atchison/34137> .

The inquiries followed from laboratory analysts' report's that urine samples
taken from the greyhounds all returned positive to the prohibited substance
Firocoxib <http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/tag/firocoxib> , the
active ingredient of the anti-inflammatory Previcox
<http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/tag/previcox> .

The positive swabs
<http://www.australianracinggreyhound.co ... tive-swabs> related
specifically to Thrilling Bloom after that greyhound won Race 7 the Macro
Meats <http://www.australianracinggreyhound.co ... acro-meats> Stake
conducted by the GBOTA <http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/tag/gbota>
at Wentworth Park
<http://www.australianracinggreyhound.co ... worth-park> on February
10 2012; Low Key after that greyhound had won Race 3 the Virbac Sprint
Series 1 Win Ht conducted by NCA
<http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/tag/nca> at Betchoice Gardens on
March 10 2012; and both Thrilling Frank and Thrilling Bloom after those
greyhounds had finished first and second respectively in Race 7 the Betfair
<http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/go/sportsbet/> Cup Final
conducted by the GBOTA at Wentworth Park on March 17 2012

Each positive swab had been confirmed to contain the prohibited substance
Firocoxib.

Evidence was taken from Trainer Mr Russell Mansley, his wife Mrs Kerry
Mansley, the owner of all four greyhounds Mrs Lorraine Atchison
<http://www.australianracinggreyhound.co ... e-atchison> , the
Science Manager of the Australian Racing Forensic Laboratory Dr Adam Cawley
and veterinarian Dr Brian Garratt of Belmont Vet Clinic. Written evidence
was entered from the Australian Racing Forensic Laboratory, Racing
Analytical Services (VIC) and ARFL Senior Veterinarian Dr Craig Suann and Dr
Garratt.

Evidence was given by Mr Mansley that based upon the advice of Dr Garratt,
Mr Mansley had administered one tablet of Previcox to each of the greyhounds
exactly 72 hours prior to competing in the abovementioned events.

Mr Mansley pleaded guilty to four separate charges under Greyhound Racing
<http://www.australianracinggreyhound.com/> Rule 83 (2) (a) in that he had
presented Thrilling Bloom, Low Key and Thrilling Frank for the races in
question not free of a prohibited substance as the urine sample taken from
the greyhounds were found to contain Firocoxib.

After considering submissions on penalty Mr Mansley was disqualified for a
period of six (6) months for each of the four charges which is to be served
concurrently.

In determining the penalty Stewards took into consideration:

* Mr Mansley's lengthy involvement in the industry which included one
previous conviction under the prohibited substance rules stemming from a
race at Singleton in 2002
* his personal circumstances which includes a significant involvement
in the industry
* the timing of the notification to Mr Mansley of the first
irregularity which prevented him from undertaking steps to alter or cease
the use of the Previcox prior to the subsequent samples being taken
* the nature of the substance involved (a non-steroidal anti
inflammatory)
* the evidence from Dr Cawley outlining the estimated level of the
Firocoxib in each of the samples
* the commonplace use of the prohibited substance displayed by Mr
Mansley which includes his decision to "cut very fine" the advice given by
Dr Garratt in recommending the use of the product "at least 72 hours" prior
to racing
* the media alert issued by GRNSW warning members of the prolonged
excretion time for the prohibited substance Firocoxib
