Stewards wrap: five trainers in trouble for positive swabs

By Katherine Ernst

SA trainer Steve Hoffman recently faced a Greyhound Racing SA stewards’ inquiry charged with a breach of the prohibited substance rule.

The charge was laid after Hoffman’s greyhound Like A Tornado returned a positive urine sample to cobalt above the allowed threshold when it competed at Gawler on February 12, 2017.

Hoffman pleaded guilty to the charge and was slapped with a five-month disqualification, to commence at midnight on June 15, 2017.

Hoffman was also charged with a breach of GAR 84A(1) for failing to keep treatment records, for which he was fined $150.
