Godolphin trainer
Mahmood Al Zarooni was on Thursday banned for eight years by the disciplinary
panel at the BHA's headquarters after being found guilty of doping offences
which have rocked British racing.
The 15 horses
Godolphin trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni has admitted doping with anabolic steroids
have been banned from racing for six months.
The length of
suspension reflects the period beyond which the BHA is confident that the
horses in question can have derived no performance related benefit from the
administration of these prohibited substances.
Sheikh Mohammed has announced he is to lock down the Newmarket
stable occupied by Mahmood Al Zarooni with immediate effect in the wake of
revelations at least 15 of the horses based at the yard were administered
anabolic steroids.
He has also demanded a full round
of blood samples and dope testing is done on every single horse in the yard -
which includes last year's St Leger winner Encke - in a bid to try and restore
public faith in the Godolphin operation.
