I have given this some long thought - not arguing he did wrong and if the case report is correct it is hard for anyone to dispute - but verses serious crimes heard in a higher court ( High Court ) than the JCA the punishment is too hard. He did not commit murder.

correct it is very much out of whack

and that doesn't take into account the price he has had to pay due to the much flawed racing "of dubious integrity" units initiated/supported operation inca

i can see why pip hall QC suggested a fine

Not RIU biased. I have been critical of the RIU for a long time for the lip service they paid to those who said they didn't do enough to detect the use of performance enhancers. Even on multiple occasions i had posted asking why they didn't use surveillance to gather evidence of wrongdoing,as they do in australia. I'm consistent,even if i do annoy some. The dope smoking comment? Beats me what i would have to do with that. .Your loyal to mcgrath,loyalty is a good quality,i'll give you that.

 

8 years for" no evidence of any wrong doing".  I think your take lacks a bit of perspective.

If you look at what Jeff gural,meadowlands owner,is saying about the big scandel in america regarding the use of performance enhancers.He's saying testing is not the most effective way to gather evidence of illegal activity.He says it must be done in conjunction with Surveillance,wire taps,using private investigators,working with federal authorities etc. Thats the way of the future if you want o catch those that cheat. He should know as he has been a crusader on this topic for years.Thats my final comment on this topic.

Watching far too much CSI.  Assumes the "cheaters" don't watch the same programmes.  

A few burner cell phones and it's all sweet.

Maybe you should have told all those caught in the USA about that.  Obviously those cheaters not up with the play like you are..

should only been a fine . just goes to show the ego of ex copper and the motel cleaner

Were they sitting on the JCA that decided the penalty?

you tell me as your one or them

I actually agree that the penalty was a bit too harsh. But whether he would have it reduced if he chooses to appeal the sentence  i guess is open to debate.  Tell me,do you think he did this type of pre race activity often,or do you think it was a one off and he just decided to do it at a time when he must have known he was under close scrutiny?
