....Stewart has been serving an indefinite suspension for failure to comply with an order from Kentucky chief state steward John Veitch in December 2007. Stewart was suspended as a result of his inability to produce the documents within a timely manner, according to Veitch....

....Robert Watt, an attorney representing the commission in Stewart’s appeal of his five-year suspension, said based on actions by Stewart’s attorneys -- Mike Meuser and Karen Murphy -- over the past week, Veitch would likely issue an order lifting that suspension. Once that action takes place, Stewart could resume practicing veterinary medicine under a stay of the original five-year suspension.

Trainer Patrick Biancone, who was suspended for six months and agreed not to seek reinstatement for another six months, recently completed his suspension. Stewart testified that Biancone was unaware of the contents of the cooler. Biancone was suspended under the absolute insurer rule that holds trainers responsible for horses in their care.

Stewart was suspended for four years for possession of three sealed vials of alpha-cobratoxin, or cobra venom, a substance used to kill pain. The substance is a Class A medication under the KHRA Uniform Drug and Medication Classification Schedule. Stewart was additionally suspended for one year for the possession of carbidopa and levodopa, both also Class A medications. Both drugs are used to treat Parkinson's disease in humans. The suspensions will run consecutively. He was also suspended for lesser offenses related to the case, with those suspensions to run concurrent to the longer suspensions....


Hard to believe anyone takes this game seriously sometimes...
