What's going on with Lisa Cropp? She's copped a suspended sentence after testing positive to a drug prescribed for insomnia. The Kiwi ace pleaded guilty to a charge under Australian Racing Rule AR 81B after a random drug test on Crown Oaks day in November revealed traces of the banned substance Zipiclone. Stewards gave Cropp a one month suspended sentence that has been 'stayed' for 12-months. Problem is there's another test result on the way. It was taken last week. What happens if it proves pos
What's going on with Lisa Cropp? She's copped a suspended sentence after testing positive to a drug prescribed for insomnia. The Kiwi ace pleaded guilty to a charge under Australian Racing Rule AR 81B after a random drug test on Crown Oaks day in November revealed traces of the banned substance Zipiclone. Stewards gave Cropp a one month suspended sentence that has been 'stayed' for 12-months. Problem is there's another test result on the way. It was taken last week. What happens if it proves positive? Lisa will be hoping it doesn't - otherwise who knows what sentence will be dished out to her?
Maybe the stewards can enlighten us about the effects of a jockey having traces of an insomnia pill in the system? And what amount does 'traces' mean? It would be illuminating to have these questions answered. One wonders if they check for traces of alcohol in these tests?
