That you, Scott Boole, a registered trainer, while in charge of the greyhound ‘Big Bago’, presented the greyhound for the purpose of competing in race nine at Tweed Heads on 23 April 2016 in circumstances where the greyhound was not free of any prohibited substance.
The prohibited substance in this instance was cobalt.
