(a)Persons denied admission to track.

Anyone who has been ruled off or who has been suspended, whether temporarily for investigation or otherwise, and anyone penalized as provided in this Part by the highest official regulatory racing body having jurisdiction where the offense occurred, shall be denied admission to all race tracks licensed by the commission until duly reinstated, unless otherwise determined by the commission.

(b)Persons barred from racing.

A person whose license has been revoked or has been suspended, whether temporarily for investigation or otherwise, and so long as his exclusion or suspension continues shall not be qualified, whether acting as agent or otherwise to subscribe for or to enter or to run any horse for any race either in his own name or in that of any other person.

(c)Horse suspended.

All horses in the charge of a trainer whose license has been revoked or has been suspended, whether temporarily for investigation or otherwise, shall be automatically suspended from racing during the period of the trainer's exclusion or suspension. Permission may be given by the judges for the transfer of such horses to another trainer during such period, and upon such approval such horses shall again be eligible to race.

(d)Track records voided.

In the event that a horse establishes a track or other record in a race and it should be determined by competent authority that the chemical analysis of any specimen taken from such horse shows the presence of a drug which is of such a character as could affect the racing condition of the horse in such race, then such record shall be null and void.

(a)No person while on the grounds of a licensed track, who is licensed as trainer, assistant trainer, jockey, apprentice jockey, nor anyone who is riding a horse in a race, a warm-up for a race or riding on a horse anywhere on the grounds, nor anyone who aids or participates in the preparation of a race, or the horse for a race, or is licensed by the commission, shall have present within the body of such person any controlled substance listed in schedules I through V of section 3306 of the Public Health Law, unless advance permission to ride a horse or participate in any manner in a race while using such substance, pursuant to prescription by a licensed physician, has been granted in writing by the commission.
(b)Every such person, which includes all licensees, shall, upon the request of a presiding judge, associate judge or paddock judge, deliver a specimen of urine or subject himself to the taking of a blood sample by a licensed physician, as directed by such official. Failure by such person to provide such sample as so directed shall be a violation of these rules and subject such person to fine and license suspension. In addition, in no event shall any person ride or participate in any manner in the administration of or in any race, or the preparation of a horse for a race, on the day such sample is requested until such specimen has been taken as directed.
(c)In the event that analysis of a urine or blood sample, by the testing facility designated by the commission, discloses the presence of a prohibited controlled substance, such fact shall be reported to the commission, which shall schedule an immediate interview with such person, pending which such person shall not be permitted to ride and/or participate in any manner in any race. As a result of such interview, the commission may restore full riding and/or license privileges to such person after such person has delivered a current sample for analysis, continue such temporary suspension of riding and/or license privileges pending receipt of the result of analysis of any sample directed to be taken at such interview, or take such other action as the commission may deem appropriate, including fine, revocation, suspension or the conditioning of continued licensing upon the satisfactory enrollment in and completion of a drug treatment program or drug educational program designated by the commission.
(d)Disclosure of the results of analysis and other reports made in the course of enforcement of this section shall be treated as confidential insofar as is consistent with law.
