Jasmin bin Rosli has become
the second rider in a week to be suspended for returning a positive urine
swab.
His urine sample taken on Dec 21 at the Penang Turf Club returned positive
to “Phentermine”.
The Stewards concluded an inquiry into the above matter on today at the
Perak Turf Club. Evidence was taken from Jasmin, in the presence of his
master, trainer Cecil Robert, Prof. Dr Tan Soo Choon, the chief analyst,
Usains Holding Sdn Bhd, and Dr Lam Yee Yoon.
After considering all the evidence, Jasmin pleaded guilty to a charge under
MRA Rule 136(3)(b) and the particulars of the charge were that a urine
sample coded “J-0860” submitted by him on Dec 21, 2008 at the Penang Turf
Club, on analysis, revealed the presence of “Phentermine”, which is a
prohibited substance under the MRA Rules.
Jasmin was suspended for a period of twelve months with immediate effect
from today and to expire on Jan 8, 2010, both days inclusive. He was advised
of his right of appeal.
Last Friday, jockey Jai Shankar was found guilty of the same charge after
his urine returned positive to “Dextromethorphan & metabolite” and suspended
12 months.  |
