A well-known dog racing trainer in Florida had his license revoked after five of his greyhounds tested positive for cocaine.
Malcolm McAllister, a 40-year veteran of the Florida dog-racing circuit, had his license revoked by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation on April 26.
According to the report obtained by the Tampa Bay Times, authorities were alerted after one of McAllister’s greyhounds, Flying Tidalwave, tested positive for cocaine metabolites after finishing fourth at a race at St. Petersburg’s Derby Lane in January. Further urine samples revealed four other dogs in McAllister’s kennel, where he is listed as the trainer in record, also tested positive for the drug.
