The National Horseracing Authority confirms that an inquiry was held at its offices at Turffontein Racecourse on Wednesday, 22 April 2015.
At the enquiry, Mr W G C ‘Cliffie’ Miller was charged with a contravention of Rule 73.2.4 in that he was the trainer and person responsible for the horse LIQUID ICE, which ran in the 5th race at the Flamingo Park Racecourse on 19 January 2015, after which a specimen taken from that horse disclosed upon analysis the presence of N-Butylscopolamine, which is a prohibited substance in terms of the Rules of The National Horseracing Authority.
Mr Miller pleaded guilty to the charge and was found guilty of the charge.
After considering all the facts relevant to this matter, the Board imposed a penalty of a fine of R25 000.00.
