An investigation revealed that CCTV footage from the stables was misplaced, but the panel noted that reasonable precautions were in place. Cheltenham racecourse was also fined £5,000 for failing to retain the footage as required.
This incident highlights the importance of strict adherence to doping regulations in horse racing. Fans should monitor how Mullins adapts his training protocols moving forward and whether further scrutiny will be placed on racecourse compliance with CCTV retention rules.
