Nevada Gaming Commission questions safeguards after horse-racing doping cases

The Nevada Gaming Commission discussed doping at northern Nevada horse races while approving racing dates, after several horses tested positive for drugs the previous summer. The source reports that the Nevada Gaming Control Board fined trainer Ricardo Castillo $100,000 and barred him from racing for 15 years; in April, the Commission revoked Alvaro Torres’s licence, barred him from applying for another for five years and fined him $5,000. Officials discussed enforcement limits, criminal cases and betting-pattern checks.
