Story
A Pennsylvania horse trainer was accused of injecting horses with performance-enhancing drugs at Penn National Race Course. He's charged with rigging a publicly exhibited contest, administering drugs to race horses, tampering with evidence, and theft. An investigation concluded that Darryl gave horses banned substances including snake venom and an anti-inflammatory before they raced at the track. He also sold three injured horses after promising they would be retired to a petting zoo (because petting zoos love OTTBs) but at least one of those horses has raced three times. Darryl was released from jail on $20,000 bond. A horse owner Darryl had been working for was barred from Penn National after a series of breakdowns and a boycott by jockeys.
... I'm just not going to say anything. I think that article pretty much says it all.
