ROB HEATHCOTE: I compete and watch a lot of racing in Queensland and I see so many things which defy logic. I am certain it is not clean here, and it is possibly the worst it has been since I came into racing in 1997
How about this comment underneath the story... 'what i cant understand , if you talk with the racing fraternity , a human e.p.o. is being used , which cant be traced at the moment, all over australia , but very prominant in the west,iam sure stewards must know , but cant police it , but trainers are always looking for that edge , that makes the difference from winning or losing. and if that enhancements , they will use it." I have heard this also about WA. I wonder who?!
Based on the last couple of months results it could only be horses trained at tracks from Broome to Esperance to Albany to Perth to Gero and all tracks in between.
I have no concrete evidence mind you except for the moths hibernating where my notes used to reside.
I've heard for a while now the rumour that one of the most successful stables here in WA racing has been using this style of EPO. It is annoying that we can't just say the name because of the repercussions because if it is true it really is fugged up that they can get away with it. And I'm talking over a reasonably long period of time, hence why I've mentioned previously about whether or not re-testing of frozen samples is undertaken

Just one stable Flanders? You may have understated it.
Frozen samples should be retested but to my knowledge hasn't happened yet and probably never will be. Too expensive and too many skeletons that would be uncovered and be detrimental to the industry.

This is about the least surprising thing i've ever read.
