cyclops Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 On RIB site the most recent posting is dated 18Feb….therefore the question is whether the alleged 900 fine is a fact or fiction….? Additionally- is it usual for RIB to impose a penalty before incident is dealt with by Court proceedings ….? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally- is it usual for RIB to impose a penalty before incident is dealt with by Court proceedings ….? Strange that the RIB haven't put any decisions on their website for the last 18 days. Maybe the person who does that has gone on holiday and will get a shock when they come back to find no one has done their work for them and they have a backlog.Who knows but seems strange. Reminds me of the hrnz website not uploading videos of races held, for normally about half an hour after they have been run. If you have an australian tab account you can see the replays within 5 minutes every time. Actually the australian tab website is far superior to the nz tab website in that respect. They have the recent videos of races of each horse next to their form.You don't get that with the nz tab. I've often wondered why the nz tab doesn't have a link on their website for nz harness meetings, where people could click on it and go directly to the the hrnz website and access more form details and videos. Suppose that makes too much sense to be goer. Having said that the hrnz website often seems to have problems when races are on. Last sunday i tried to look at the form on the hrnz website for a few races but it wasn't working every time i looked. You would think when they are looking at ways to improve turnover,that having a website that works all the time may help encourage betting.Just a thought.

Interesting to read the Sean Mcaffrey failing to give a urine sample. Seems he had trouble on the night,so he says,,so they asked him to attend the cambridge jockey club,10 minutes from where he lives,the next morning,but he never turned up. What strikes me about reading the decision is in the summary it says luk chin thought it a very unreasonable request to ask mccaffrey to turn up to have a urine sample the next day and instead they should have taken a blood sample on the friday. When you read that you have to wonder whats going on with Luk chin when he says that it was a very unreasonable request. Sounds like he was just trying to cover for mr mccafery. Now i have no doubt mr chin is a wonderful human being,but why does he think his mate should get some type of special treatment. I just think the whole thing stinks of people trying to justify preferential treatment when none should be given. Now i'm no expert,but google detection times for cannabis and it clearly says that they use urine tests because they can detect it longer after use,whereas in blood tests it usually leaves the system within a couple of days. So isn't it obvious someone who had smoked weed 3 days ago would want a blood test knowing that it most likely wouldn't show up whereas they would know it would in a urine test. Personally i couldn't care less who uses cannabis,but if you get caught using cannabis then you only have your self to blame.

They obviously don't even look at their own web page or it would have been fixed weeks ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Yes, interesting decision. Has a whiff of unfairness and heavy handedness to me, and because of that, dos'nt seem right. I don't know how legal it is by just being a licenced person , that an officer can come onto your property, especially if you're not present.

cyclops Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Despite the humbug of RIB website (seemingly) requiring viewers to take additional steps to access sites ‘news’ my yesterdays questions remain unanswered - is 900 fine a fact or fiction ?
