GA Rule changes – consultation extended to 9 March.

Greyhounds Australasia (GA) will introduce a set of Rule changes around animal welfare and administered substances, effective from 1 March.

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:

GA Rule changes

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
