Horse trainers fined for positive drug tests

All three horses have been disqualified and their winnings nullified. Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren must pay R100 000 and R60 000 after signing admission of guilt forms in two cases involving a prohibited substance detected in horses' blood.

Another Highveld conditioner, Weiho Marwing, was fined R18 000 for one positive finding.
