Punters get ripped off and the horse is in danger | Irish racing sedative scandal explained

John Duggan brings us the morning sport news and breaks down the doping scandal which has rocked Irish racing.

Trainer Charles Byrnes has had his licence suspended for six months by the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board after one of his horses tested positive for a banned substance.

Viking Hoard was pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Tramore in October 2018 and was found to have tested positive for a sedative.

A urine sample was found to contain hydroxyethylpromazinehydroxide (HEPS), a metabolite of acepromazine (ACP).
