Warning to veterinarians!! Horse Race Doping!! Indiana Grand stewards suspend assistant trainer for 60 days By Matt Hegarty

The stewards of Indiana Grand Race Course in Shelbyville, Ind., have suspended an assistant trainer for allegedly having a horse injected on raceday, citing an incident that also is part of an aggressive effort by the state racing commission to ban a veterinarian for 20 years.
The stewards released the ruling Wednesday morning, approximately three weeks after conducting a hearing into the incident. Under the ruling, Richard Estvanko, the assistant trainer who was at Indiana Grand the day the horse allegedly was treated, was suspended 60 days, and his employer, the Chicago-based trainer Anthony Granitz, was fined $2,000.
