A billionaire horse trainer, known for his recent 200-1 winner, has been slapped with a three-year ban after 12 of his horses tested positive for anabolic steroids.
Tangled in controversy
Last month, Comer was put in the hot seat by stewards following the surprising victory of Navajo River at Roscommon, where the odds were stacked against them at 200-1.
Record-breaking win tarnished
Luke Comer, once a plasterer and now a property mogul, made headlines when his horse He Knows No Fear stunned the racing world with a historic 300-1 triumph at Leopardstown in August 2020. However, his reputation has taken a nosedive in the wake of the recent drugs scandal.
Career in ruins
The shocking revelation of the horses' positive drug tests has left Comer's career in ruins, as multiple sources are reporting. On top of the ban, the Irish Field states that Comer will also face legal costs estimated to be around £650,000.
