Description: Drug Violations Raise More Questions About Tucson Greyhound
Park

With each passing month, the evidence continues to mount that Tucson
Greyhound Park
http://www.care2.com/causes/racing-grey ... costs.html
is one of the worst dog tracks in the
country
http://blog.grey2kusa.org/2012/03/state ... ounds.html
The latest proof of Tucson's problems come in the form of state records
GREY2K USA http://www.grey2kusa.org/ recently obtained regarding positive
drug tests.

During a span of less than four weeks in early 2012, the Arizona Department
of Racing took disciplinary action against five greyhound trainers and
assistant trainers for human and greyhound drug violations. Specifically:

* On January 25, an assistant greyhound trainer was summarily
suspended after she tested positive for marijuana and cocaine

* On February 15, a greyhound trainer was ordered to return prize
money http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/2012215_AZ_VargasDrugs.pdf after two
greyhounds won races and tested positive for caffeine.

* On February 16, an assistant greyhound trainer was suspended for 60
days and fined $300 after he tested positive for marijuana and cocaine
http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/2012216_AZ_VargasDrugs.pdf .

* Also on February 16, a greyhound owner and trainer was suspended for
60 days fined and $1,000 after state investigators found a hypodermic
syringe http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/2012216_AZ_MorganDrugs.pdf in his
kennel. According to a laboratory report, the syringe was found to be
"suspicious http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/2012216_AZ_MorganDrugs.pdf " for
testosterone. The Board of Judges also recommended that the trainer's
license be permanently revoked
http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/2012216_AZ_MorganDrugs.pdf .

* On February 18, a greyhound trainer was suspended for 60 days and
fined $300 after he refused to submit to a drug test
http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/2012228_AZ_GrahamDrugs.pdf . During his
official hearing, the trainer indicated that he refused the test because he
would not have passed
http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/2012228_AZ_GrahamDrugs.pdf . He also
indicated that he would not have passed a previous drug test if another
trainer had not provided him with synthetic urine
http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/2012228_AZ_GrahamDrugs.pdf .

Unfortunately, this is not a new problem at Tucson Greyhound Park. In 2007,
the track was forced to close for two days after five licensees tested
positive for illegal drugs http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/AZ2011.pdf .
Nevertheless, these new records are another example of the sad life
greyhounds endure at this low end track
