If I was a betting man ( ) I’d say that ol mate McLean wants a closed hearing so he can take a little dump on his bestie, DKW. What has he got to lose? He knows DK is fingered and won’t ever be allowed back in the industry, so why wouldn’t you squeal like a little bitch?. Personally I hope they won’t cut him any slack if he talks.

If I were a bookie, i'd let you on for any amount, at any price you wanted.
There's no way that's what is happening.

No doubt about that. If he's capable of doing some of the gelati he did (allegedly) don't you think he's more than capable of throwing someone under the bus to shave some time off?

McLean seeks to stop Racing Victoria from using search warrant infoThe Age Trainer Jarrod McLean claims Victoria Police unlawfully provided Racing Victoria with information that led to him being charged by the sporting body. McLean and his legal team have filed a nine-page statement of claim with the Supreme Court of Victoria in an attempt to rule out evidence Racing Victoria received from Victoria Police, which was gathered when police searched McLean’s Yangery property on January 30. RV has been issued with a court order to prevent it from charging McLean until the civil action matter is heard. In McLean’s statement of claim to the Supreme Court, it’s alleged Victoria Police “owed duties” not to disclose any information about what was obtained to any third parties, except in the course of undertaking of the criminal investigation, and to treat any information obtained in the search as confidential. The group 1-winning trainer also claims Victoria Police, relying on evidence seized in the search, obtained further information about things that had been seized in the search. Some of that information obtained includes a certificate dated June 14, 2019, signed by Paul Zahra, scientific manager of Racing Analytical Services Ltd, a report by Dr Natasha Hamilton of the Racing Australia Equines Genetics Research Centre, provided on or about August 15, 2019, a video provided by Dr Hamilton and information obtained from the Therapeutic Goods Administration website. A letter from Racing Victoria to McLean on August 26 allegedly stated that “Stewards have opened an inquiry under the Rules of Racing of Racing Victoria following their receipt of information received from Victoria Police in relation to the execution of warrant” on the Yangery property. McLean also alleges at an August 28 stewards' inquiry he was informed by the chairman of stewards that “the reason we are here” was that “we have received some material from Victoria from Victoria Police in relation to items that were seized as part of a search at your property” on January 30. McLean’s legal team objected to RV using information provided by Victoria Police, but alleges RV “failed to provide the undertakings requested”. McLean was charged earlier this year under the rules of racing with possession of an electrical apparatus and conduct prejudicial to racing. His directions hearing at the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board was due to be heard on Tuesday but has been adjourned to become an administrative mention on September 23. |

On the one hand RV probably deserve this to fail- they need to learn to do things properly, follow procedure and then not screw up cases:.. on the other hand the long term implications of gene doping are unknown and I wonder particularly about horses that go on to breed

Gene Doping Threat Discussed at Asian Racing Conference By BloodHorse Staff May 17, 2018 A session of the 37th Asian Racing Conference in Seoul focused on the critical threat of gene doping. Dr. Makoto Inoue, presidential counselor for international affairs at the Japan Racing Association and vice chairman of the Asian Racing Federation, welcomed delegates to the session, noting there is still much to learn. Asian Racing Conference story provided by Hong Kong Jockey Club. Stonestreet Farm "Gene doping was raised for the first time two years ago at the Asian Racing Conference in Mumbai," Inoue said. "The threat of gene doping is not very well understood by the industry … this session is of vital importance." Dr. Kanichi Kusano, JRA official veterinarian and chair of the ARF Drug Control Committee, as well as the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities Gene Doping Control Sub-Committee, provided a background with regards to gene doping and the role of the sub-committee. "Gene doping is just a trend of the times. In effect, it is the misuse of drugs—in this instance, the misuse of DNA," Kusano said. "It just means that we need new experts and new instruments in order to deal with gene doping. "The risk of gene doping from these two forms is, firstly, damage to the integrity of sport and, secondly, the risk of creating a genetically modified Thoroughbred. Hence, the IFHA formed the Gene Doping Sub-Committee in March 2016. "Our mission statement is to advise racing and breeding authorities on the regulation of gene therapies and to assist in the formulation of strategies and guidelines", Kusano said. "Article 6B of the IFHA's International Agreement on Breeding, Racing and Wagering was completely revised in 2017 to focus on gene therapies, while the regulation of gene editing in the IABRW is currently a work in progress." Kusano concluded with a message for racing regulators. Taylor Made Sales "Strengthen your rules of racing and improve your testing system for gene doping," he said. "Check that the laboratories in your jurisdiction have the appropriate experts and equipment. Provide financial support for research and educate the veterinarians, trainers and stable staff on gene doping." Faced with the threat gene doping poses, it came as some relief when Dr. Natasha Hamilton, Racing Australia's Director of Equine Genetics Research Laboratory, presented a recently developed method for detecting equine gene doping. Hamilton began by identifying the difference between gene therapy, namely the insertion of a gene to cure or treat a disease, and gene doping, which is the insertion, modification or editing of a gene to improve performance. "The aim of our gene doping sub-committee is to prevent people from using gene doping to win more races," she said. "Do we really need to worry? Well, if you look at the recent racing doping scandals across the globe, especially the use of cobalt and sodium bicarbonate, then, yes, we do. People looking for that edge will also be on the lookout for something new and undetectable to use to enhance performance. "In order to try and prevent the use of gene doping, we needed to look at what genes are already used in gene therapy to combat diseases, what drugs are used in their protein form for performance enhancement, and what known genes could affect performance, such as genes that affect muscle strength, energy metabolism, pain reception, injury repair, oxygen regulation and angiogenesis (growth factors). Knowing which genes are likely to be manipulated helps in detecting if gene doping has occurred." Hamilton explained how the test for gene doping actually works. "The inserted or transgene creates a unique sequence, which is different from the normal DNA, which we can then test for. The test can detect 10 copies in the reaction mixture and currently screens for five genes in two reaction mixtures. The test is inexpensive, and the results are available within a day. Surveillance testing was carried out during the 2018 Sydney Autumn Carnival. Of course, this test is relevant to all breeds of horse and can be used for other events such as the Olympics." Equix Dr. Teruaki Tozaki, technical advisor for the Laboratory of Racing Chemistry in Japan, introduced the delegates to the risks of gene editing and the difficulties in detecting and regulating gene editing. He noted that genetically modified animals have already been produced worldwide with the use of gene editing. So what is gene editing, actually? According to Tozaki: "Gene editing and its industrial applications can no longer be stopped. The science has been simplified to the degree that you can now buy a DIY bacterial gene engineering kit online for a mere $159, making it easy to perform genome editing with only the most basic knowledge. "The race to produce the first genetically engineered super-horse has already begun. Argentinian scientists have started performing gene editing on horses, and it is speculated that the first super-horse is likely to be produced by them as early as 2019. The gene that they are targeting is myostatin, which is crucial for muscle development. In other words, it could allow a horse to jump higher and run faster." For now, gene doping is regulated by a number of authorities and is prohibited by the WADA. But while the IFHA has disqualified genetically modified horses from participating in races, the administration of genetically modified cells is not yet clearly regulated. "For this reason, the IABRW should change Article 6B as soon as possible," Tozaki said. Blood samples are being collected from all foals and stored for future use. "In the future," Tozaki said, "whole genome sequencing will be done for each foal at birth—thus enabling a retest of that foal once it is a racehorse in order to confirm whether genome editing has occurred." |

Trainer Jarrod McLean could face charges of using the prohibited substance EPO, the Herald Sun is reporting.
McLean on Friday lost his bid in the Supreme Court to stop Racing Victoria using police evidence against him and as part of the ruling, a confidentiality clause covering parts of the police evidence was ordered to be lifted in seven days. The Herald Sun is reporting that it is believed that vials containing performance-enhancing EPO were seized from McLean's Yangery stables during a January 30 raid. The vials were believed to be part of the evidence the Supreme Court termed 'further information' which had been under a confidentiality clause until Friday morning when Justice Melanie Richards denied McLean's application for an injunction against RV for using Victoria Police information. RV is expected to soon announce further charges against McLean after the Supreme Court dismissed his application. The Herald Sun reports that it is understood some of the evidence gathered by police points towards suspected corruption dating back to 2012. It claimed the suspected use of banned substances on Cats Fun, the 2008 Perth Cup winner, is believed to form part of the evidence gathered. EPO or Erythropoietin first came to prominence in cycling due to its ability to increase the number of oxygen-carrying blood cells. McLean was charged in February with conduct prejudicial to racing and possessing a jigger - an electrical device capable of shocking horses. Victoria Police charged McLean just last week with alleged animal cruelty offences, corruption and possessing cocaine. RV then held a show-cause hearing and ultimately, stood down McLean indefinitely, along with stablehand Tyson Kermond. The pair previously worked for disgraced trainer Darren Weir, who is serving a four-year disqualification and who was also charged by police last week, along with stablehand Willie Hernan. |

Apparently they found a discarded syringe with a small trace of blood in it.
It was tested and found traces of EPO and the blood was a DNA match to Cats Fun who hasn’t raced for 5 years. |

If McLean was using it he would have got it from his best mate and partner in crime Weir.

I see the horse that he sent up Mark Currie and owned by his missus won a couple of weeks back. Four starts for two wins and a second with its new trainer. Currie should be McLeans cell mate.
