Frank Robinson inquiry result

Sure he will snap this up!

INQUIRY – TRAINER L F ROBINSON
 
 
The National Horseracing Authority confirms that at an Inquiry held in Durban on 26 November 2020, Trainer L F Robinson was charged with a contravention of Rule 72.1.43.
 
The specifics of the charge being that on or about 14 November 2020, he posted a comment on a social media platform which could reasonably be construed to be racist to other persons in the racing industry.
 
Trainer Mr L F Robinson pleaded not guilty to the charge.  However, after considering the evidence, the Inquiry Board found Trainer Robinson guilty as charged.
 
The Inquiry Board imposed a penalty of a cancellation of his Trainer’s Licence, which is wholly suspended for a period of 2 years, on condition that he is not found guilty of a similar offence during this period.  In addition to this penalty, the Inquiry Board imposed a fine of R25 000.
 
Furthermore, Trainer L F Robinson’s interim suspension, that was imposed on him in terms of Rule 91.2, pending the finalisation of the Inquiry, is lifted with immediate effect.   As such, Mr Robinson may enter and declare horses to race in terms of his Licence as a Trainer.
 
Mr Robinson has the right of appeal against the finding and the penalty imposed.

The GC members might not be very happy

Happy that he did not lose his license.

He got away with that fine, though.

Racist coming from Indians ? Doesn't India have a Caste System ? Just asking .....

The caste system is not too dissimilar to the class systems used in ancient France, England etc. It's a disgusting and dehumanizing system, that classified people according to their occupation. It is now outlawed.

President Ram Nath Kovind is from a group formerly known as “untouchable". They were the lowest.

This system is outlawed, but still in practice in the rural areas.

Two wrongs don't make a right, though.

Shocker - Debi I always valued your comments, until now. Does India's Caste system justify Frank's comments? Let's trace back roots to the 1820 British settlers, the Portuguese, Dutch, French Huguenots, Germans et.al and blame Apartheid upon them. Stupid. If it is you in Singapore, I will find a way to ensure your sentiment is made known amongst the multitude of Indians driving the economy there.

So if a group of people in another land have an internal caste system, they cannot be subject to racism because its rendered invalid? :blink:

I cannot believe what I just read!
