Stewards wrap: SA greyhound trainer appeals decade-long ban

By Katherine Ernst

A SOUTH Australian greyhound trainer has appealed his decade-long disqualification and $10,000 fine after being found guilty of a breach of the permanently banned substance rule.

The specifics of the case were that, on January 5, Greyhound Racing SA (GRSA) Stewards took an out of competition swab from the greyhound Are Ate at the property of its trainer, Michele Familglietti.

The analysis of the swab showed that the greyhound had the permanently banned substance Amphetamine in its system, which put Familglietti in breach of GAR 79(A)(4)(i).

Familglietti pleaded not guilty and submitted that the integrity of the swab had been affected.
