    It seems pretty clear that there's a problem here?  Unlicenced concealable firearm, Cocaine, and those Jiggers?

    "The use of jiggers is illegal in Victoria and in 2007 trainer Paul Preusker was disqualified for four years and jockey Holly McKechnie three years for using a jigger on horses during trackwork. Others have been sanctioned since for their use.Racing Victoria rules state it is an offence "to deliver an electric shock to a person or animal [and] it shall be deemed to be capable of affecting the performance of a horse in a race or training gallop."It is also against Racing Victoria rules to possess a jigger as a trainer, jockey or anyone connected to a racehorse."

    If they're serious about cleaning up the industry then the above precedent seems a no brainer?
