Zeron:We'll take a polygraph

March 02, 2007 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Rick Zeron, who received an aminorex positive from the Ontario Racing Commission (ORC) and has subsequently been barred from racing at Woodbine, Flamboro Downs or Georgian Downs, has told Standardbred Canada (SC) he is willing to take a lie detector test to prove his innocence.

Speaking on behalf of himself and the six other trainers--Jeff Gillis, Anthony Haughan, Anthony Montini, Kevin O'Reilly, Lynn Privett and Kelly Sheppard--who also received aminorex positives, Zeron said not only would he be willing to take the polygraph, but the others would do so as well.

"The group of us have absolutely no idea where these positives are coming from," Zeron was quoted as saying on SC's website. "We had no knowledge of this drug before the positives came up. We'll take a polygraph to prove our innocence.

"It affects all of us personally to have a positive test for something we don't know anything about," he added.

According to Zeron, he has had no contact with the ORC since being informed of his aminorex positive Feb. 23. "I don't think the ORC is continuing to investigate," he said. "They're just going to act on the positives. This drug has to be researched more and they have to find out where it originates from."
