Champion greyhound tests positive for cocaine

fryup · 15-09-2017 09:56AM #1

you couldn't make it up, sounds like the best irish joke ever

An Irish champion greyhound, Clonbrien Hero, has been banned after testing positive for cocaine.
In three separate tests between June 24 and July 22 this year, the dog was found to have traces of benzoylecgonine, the main metabolite of cocaine, in its system

like something out of Father Ted :pac:

Woudl have been some craic trying to get a dog coked off his head in to the stall.
The chatting out of him would have been hard to bear too.

The boom is definitely back baby.

One would've thought that sniffer dogs were the more likely co-canines to be stung like this.

LOOK AT HIS FACE! I MEAN LOOK AT IT! IT'S SO DAMNED CUTE.

Even if he might be off his face on coke

fryup · 15-09-2017 10:18AM

had to laugh at this...

Clonbrien Hero’s trainer, Graham Holland, is adamant that the dog ingested cocaine accidentally.

..and i say to that

The poor doggy

philstar · 15-09-2017 06:33PM

maybe thats what the dog gets as a treat for winning?? instead of the usual doggy biscuits give him some snow instead?

In the racing world this is called chasing the rabbit. It's a ruff business.

He's like Scarface, but since the neutering all he has his word now.

The trainers excuse is even more like something out of father Ted

You can pass traces of cocaine by handling money ... When a dog wins a race, people are walking up to the dog and patting it on the head. If they have cocaine on their hands, they can pass that to the dog and it can come out in a urine sample

If anyone watched the Prime Time special on greyhound racing in Ireland a year or so a go this would be no surprise at all. I'd never attend a race in this country as a result.

The_Valeyard · 15-09-2017 06:44PM

So, how does it work does the dog see some sort of millennium Falcon hyperspace racetrack,?

The trainers excuse is hilarious.

That dog has lost the trust of his owner, that's punishment enough.

Isn't it weird - you wait for ages for a story about dogs on cocaine and then two come along at once?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/12/dog-mauled-owner-death-front-bbc-film-crew-probably-crack-cocaine/

A Staffordshire Bull Terrier which mauled its owner in front of BBC staff was likely to have taken crack cocaine, an inquest has heard. Mario Perivoitos, 41, died in March after losing 10 pints of blood and having his larynx crushed in the attack.

No.Something out of father ted would be that the rabbits chase the greyhound and not the other way around.

I heard a few years ago that defibrillators were being stolen from sports grounds to super-charge dogs for illegal dog fighting.

Snotty · 15-09-2017 11:22PM

E tables was the common drug for greyhounds to he given before the race, must only be the fancy greyhounds who get the coke.

Ah here. They're not bumper cars. What do you mean by super-charge?
