Plenty smoke but is there any fire?

I am enjoying my time off and yesterday had my first real catch up on racing matters. There are some juicy rumours doing the rounds, I wonder how many of these have substance and how many will prove to be true ??

1. The July has thrown up a positive
2. A Jooste feature race winner has tested positive during the KZN season
3. Striker has been sued for the infamous drop the hands ride. He was served along with a Stipe at the Vaal racecourse last week. Lyle Andersons name has been mentioned.

Fact or fiction?

Heard about 1 and 3 but i doubt (1) will ever be confirmed..

I think there is one punter adamant that striker cost him 900k

Also hearing at least 3 trainers have been caught falsyfying AHS stuff, 1 has been given 6 months suspended.

Trainer from the vaal is seemingly about to have to fight for his license

Without names this thread is just smoke

agree Mac - its either campfire stories or fact - what amazes me is you hear these rumours but you dont hear much after that so amazed it seems like they only getting guys for mickey mouse things like causing interference and the like. Strange how the bigger stuff just normally goes dead quiet

I agree with you, funny how all the stuff goes quiet

I always say where there's smoke there's fire.....and i've been proved correct many times over

Interesting that over the years some serious issues have been discussed,and whilst at times the speculation has been a little irresponsible , the forum spin doctors have killed The discussions with ....."let's wait until it all comes out in the wash"...........I can think of a few very serious allegations which have never been heard of again ......not even in the press !!!!

Watch this space. A trainers wife is coming up for a enquiry in regards with throwing Racial Slurs. Just waiting on the hearing , findings and penalty then the name will be posted.

Why cause trouble with rumors wait till they become facts and then spew them out OTA

I really dont understand this thread. What the point of saying wait for this and that. Then u may as well all be quiet and we can all see what we see when we see it. This looks like a pissing contest so when ever the facts are published so and so can say see i told u. But actually noone has told anyone anything. Just teasing forumites. Lol

Is there not a worry that the facts will never come out and get swept under the carpet... ??

Years of being passed info I know when it's good and when it's bad , most times when I get passed " good info " it's from insiders disturbed that the broom and rug are being used .
