HC Deb 29 July 1963 vol 682 c18W
81. Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to provide increased penalties for those convicted of racehorse doping.

Miss Pike

The doping of racehorses is usually dealt with as a conspiracy to cheat and defraud. This is a common law misdemeanour for which the court has an unlimited power to impose imprisonment or a fine or both.
