Nevada Gaming Commission upholds $100,000 fine and 15-year racing ban
The Nevada Gaming Commission voted 5-0 to uphold a $100,000 fine and 15-year racing ban for trainer Ricardo Castillo, the report said. The sanctions followed positive methamphetamine tests involving four horses; Castillo’s attorney challenged the penalty, while the Commission said the number of horses involved distinguished the case from another trainer’s sanction.
The decision sets the upheld sanctions in a case involving multiple horses and responds to Castillo’s appeal.
