All hair and blood samples taken during a raid of a Monasterevin, Co. Kildare farm on Nov. 9 have tested negative for “prohibited at all times substances”, according to a release from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board. The raid-during which animal remedies banned for use in racehorses were seized-was carried out by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine acting on their own investigations and information received and with the support of the IHRB.
The IHRB's statement read, “the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board can today confirm that the hair and blood samples taken from horses at a premises near Monasterevin, County Kildare, on 9th November 2021 have been analysed at LGC laboratories and reported negative for prohibited at all times substances. As this is part of an ongoing investigation working in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and other agencies, we cannot make any further comment at this time.”
