Must admit I wasn't shocked at all, its the most corrupt 'sport' in the world.
So much so even i've been given 'insider' tips by my brother in law who's mate part owns a horse with someone famous and I only tend to have a flutter on the national!

I can't believe his only defence so far has been that he didn't know it'd be against the rules to give steroids to horses when they weren't planning to run. What an absolute load of bollocks! That's up there with the dog ate my homework level of excuses.

hasn't shocked me at all either, doping is allowed in many countries ( eg, lasix in the the US )

Add whatever Frankie was up to in the mix and Godolphin aren't looking too clever.
For all the money and resources they have plus the doping they haven't really done that well results wise.

seven more ex-Al Zarooni horses found positive including last years St Leger winner Encke

All Bin Suroor horses clean

Looks like it is just him then, all other Godolphin horses clean so he's just a cheat plain and simple.
