captainchristy; I think I was right, I said he wouldnt get a ban and 10 July to 10 October does not in my opinion constitute a ban.

all these people coming on sticking up for him obviously dont care if the sport is clean or not!

I don't think people are necessarily sticking up for him; I just don't think anymore could have been done without having a disproportionate affect on third parties in the circumstances. I wonder if RCVS are looking into the conduct of the vet ?

this fine means nothing in laymans terms its like sentencing a lag to do a few months in jail and come back again out to rob the innocent again and again, this man has lived the life of luxery while the normal person on the street has to suffer in silence and has paid for his life stlye with our money in his pocket.i would give an arm and a leg to have a job like that.

Princess, i always read your posts with interest as you are clearly more knowledgable about this game than most of us, but i find your tirade about Nicky Hendersons character bewildering, Mick Fitz who i am sure everyone agrees is a gent, worships the bloke, cannot believe if he is as you describe that Mick would feel that way and he worked for him for 20 years, Ted Walsh on ATR tonight described Henderson as a 'lovely fella' and he isn't known for his love of us English is he? Maybe you caught him on a bad day, i for one cannot believe your analysis of him is a fair one.

I have to take issue with McCririck's comments "He doesn't dope horse"

Isn't that exactly what he's just been found guilty of??

I can only speak as I find. I know several people that work for Weatherbys and the BHA that have had similar experiences with him. Perhaps he doesn't feel us minions warrant the same respect as other trainers/jockeys etc.
