Allan Cullen, the leading driver at Windsor Raceway the past two years, has been suspended by the Ontario Racing Commission for one year after the 45-year-old horseman�s appeal regarding a human positive drug test was denied. The suspension began May 12.

Cullen originally received a 15-day suspension for a positive test from a saliva sample taken Feb. 2, but then had a second violation in a follow-up urine test March 28.

Cullen has 5,246 career wins and more than $18.5 million in purse earnings.

Under the ORC ruling, Cullen has been ordered that upon completion of his suspension he must adhere to the following conditions:

1) provide proof to the (ORC) Director that he has successfully completed a substance abuse program;

2) that he is enrolled as an active participant in an accredited aftercare program for a minimum of one year;

3) must demonstrate to the Director that he is worthy of having his licenses reinstated following his suspension;

4) which will include a negative alcohol and drug test at his cost;

5) be placed on probation for two years

6) The Director may see fit to attach conditions to his reinstatement;

7) Any breach of those conditions will cause an automatic suspension of his license with a requirement that he appear before the Commission.
