The licensee, a standardbred owner/driver, appealed a suspension imposed after a follow-up saliva sample tested positive for Oxycodone, violating a post-violation agreement.
Following the licensee's successful completion of a 45-day inpatient drug rehabilitation program, the Ontario Racing Commission held a reinstatement hearing.
The Commission ordered that the licensee is eligible for reinstatement of his licenses, subject to conditions including enrollment in an approved after-care program, entering into a new 12-month post-violation agreement, and a 24-month probationary period.
