Sec. 13. (a) This section applies to a horse entered to race at a track operated under a permit issued by the commission.
(b) The following provisions apply if the analysis of a biological sample shows that a person has violated section 2 of this chapter:
(1) The owner of the horse from which the biological sample was obtained shall forfeit the purse and any trophy or award.
(2) If the purse was paid before the maker of that payment was notified of the result of the analysis, the horse, the owner, and the trainer of the horse may be suspended. A permit holder is not required to make any other distribution of the purse until the refund has been made. The judges shall disqualify the horse from which the positive biological sample was obtained and the remaining horses shall be advanced accordingly. The horse ultimately designated as the winner of the race shall be awarded any additional portions of the purse that remain following the disqualification if there are not enough unoffending horses to share the purse.
(3) A suspension made under this section continues until the purse is refunded and properly redistributed or for any other period determined by the commission.
As added by P.L.341-1989(ss), SEC.2. Amended by P.L.168-2019, SEC.15.
