JB,
Heard it from more than one source and the penalty would have been much stiffer unless you are thinking cover up by the NYSWRB.The NYRA stewards hearing,another matter,is supposedly an administrative one with rule infraction the agenda.
Penalties for positives are handed out by the NYSWRB as I understand it and he got 15 days, reduced to 7, and $2.500 fine.Have you heard something different?
From his lawyer on 4/19 accepting the above penalty:
Karen Murphy, Mullins\' attorney, issued a statement from the trainer the afternoon of April 19.
\"The State of New York has conducted its own testing which determined that I did not administer any illegal drug or medication or prohibited substance to Gato Go Win on April 4th.
