Grey2K is a rabid anti racing group. They are the PETA's of the greyhound racing world. Do not believe a word they say!!

It will be interesting to see how this plays out...if these charges are actually true. Drugging a dog is a stupid thing to do. After each race, a urine sample is collected from the winning dog and another random dog and tested for the presence of performance enhancing drugs. Drugging a dog to win a race will always backfire because winning a race guarantees that your dog will be tested.

Many charges leveled by Grey2K in the past have turned out to be completely false or greatly exaggerated. Any trainer would be stupid to risk losing his kennel booking at a track and being banned from racing by the National Greyhound Association by giving his dog, of all things, cocaine.

Coke is waaaay too expensive, easily detectable, and oh yeah, merely possessing it will land you in the slammer.

I don't support levelling false charges to advance an agenda, but I've never heard of Grey2K so I can't prejudge their claims.

I tried looking them up on the web, including in newsgroups, and couldn't get any real objective info, positive or negative - mostly just news reports about their actions. No indication as to whether they should be believed.

I'd be interested if you do have any info on them, links especially.

That said, I don't think greyhound racing is inherently bad; I just worry about the general treatment of these dogs, and what happens to them after they can't race anymore.

This thread has made me want to send a small donation to a reputable dog rescue group. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.
