Do you see what this Integrity notice issued on Tuesday by the Harness Racing NSW Stewards says? Nathan Turnbull has returned a positive swab to Salicylic Acid at above the threshold of 6.5 micrograms per millilitre in plasma. Salicylic Acid is the non-steroidal pain killer, anti-inflammatory, and blood thinner Aspirin. Plasma is blood. There is […]
