Andrew Cohen is an attorney, legal analyst, journalist, senior editor of the Marshall Project and a Standardbred owner. In those various roles, he has a unique perspective on the federal horse doping investigation that shocked the racing world nearly two years ago with the indictments of more than two dozen individuals, including trainers from both Thoroughbred and Standardbred racing.
Cohen joins Paulick Report publisher Ray Paulick and editor-in-chief Natalie Voss on this week's Friday Show to review developments in the federal probe and discuss what may lie ahead for those awaiting trial, and whether or not history suggests more indictments may be on the way.
The subject of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority also was raised in the discussion, as was the opposition to this independent regulatory agency by the United States Trotting Association, which plays an important role in the harness racing industry.
