| Ruling Text: YOU ARE HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, before the New York State Racing and Wagering Board, at its office located at One Broadway Center, Sixth Floor, Schenectady, New York, on Thursday, November 13, 2008 at 3:00 p.m., why, pursuant to Section 213(2) of the New York State Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law, your license to participate in pari-mutuel thoroughbred racing as a Stable Employee should not be revoked as a result of your admission on or about September 7, 2008, that you used drugs in violation of subdivision (a) of section 4042.5 section 9E NYCRR, and that you failed to abide by the terms of the Voluntary Agreement that you signed on September 7, 2008, to wit, you failed to be examined by a State certified drug/alcohol abuse treatment provider and comply with the diagnosis and/or recommendation for treatment. Because your experience, character or general fitness is such that your participation in thoroughbred racing or related activities would be inconsistent with the public interest, convenience or necessity or with the best interests of racing generally, the Board is considering the revocation of your license and declaring you ineligible for an occupational license related to any horse racing activity in New York State. FINDINGS AND ORDER, FEBRUARY 27, 2009, Gail Pronti: ORDERED, that Mr. Cruz’s license to participate as a groom in thoroughbred racing be, and hereby is, revoked. |
