Apology to Mr John McNair

ABC News Digital: In July last year we broadcast a story which stated that horse trainer John McNair had been fined by Racing NSW for giving a horse amphetamine and methamphetamine, or "ice", before a race. That report was not correct. Mr McNair was fined for presenting a horse with a prohibited substance in its system, however racing stewards expressly found that Mr McNair did not administer or have any knowledge of the administration of the substance to the horse. The ABC apologises to Mr McNair for any hurt or embarrassment caused by the error.
