                      -- Case Against Pena Results in Three-Year Ban

"The New York State Gaming Commission April 27 said it has banned Luis Pena for three years and fined him $343,400—$200 for each of more than 1,700 separate violations. The commission's action against Luis Pena came after a mid-level appeals court earlier this year overturned a judge's ruling that dismissed the state's case against Pena.

The Pena matter caught the attention of the racing world because of the vast number of charges—more than 1,700 drug violations in 700 races—and that he was caught not by drug-testing methods but through veterinary records."
