Greyhounds Australasia (GA) will introduce a set of Rule changes around animal welfare and administered substances, effective from 1 March.
GRV has been advised that the amendments will update and clarify GA’s Rules and in certain instances will bring GA’s Rules in line with other racing codes.
Before it considers the adoption of these rules in Victoria, Greyhound Racing Victoria is seeking comment from Victorian participants about GA’s amendments by 16 February.
The amendments relate to the following GA Rules:
GAR 1 – Definition of Prohibited Substances
GAR 1 – Norethisterone exemption
GAR 83A – Restrictions on Treatment Prior to Racing
GAR 79A – Out of Competition Testing
GAR 21A – National Ban on Consecutive Days Racing
GAR 84A – Treatment Record Requirements
Please email your submissions on the proposed amendments to GRV at submissions@grv.org.au.
Specific questions seeking clarification about the rule changes or their meaning should be emailed to Greyhound Australasia admin@galtd.org.au.
