An embarrassment? Were you looking for capital punishment?

Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford said the steroid injections given to 15 Godolphin horses was part of a regimen that now-sullied trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni followed while he was in Dubai.

What a guy.

MAHMOOD AL ZAROONI filled five unmarked syringes with an illegal anabolic steroid, took them by car to his Newmarket stable and passed them through the window to an assistant with instructions to dope five horses.


Al Zarooni had written the names of the five horses on a list that he handed through his car window with the syringes to an unqualified veterinary assistant, Sharif Mahboob. At no time did Al Zarooni seek advice from his team of vets or record the injections in the medication record.
