The Whanganui greyhound trainer at the centre of an industry drug scandal remains tight-lipped about the ordeal that ended with dog owner and administrator David Scott fined and banned for 11years.
Nathan Udy is being hailed the good guy after co-operating fully with the New Zealand Racing Integrity Unit that investigated Scott's illegal activities involving dogs he owned and were trained by Udy.
Scott was disqualified from all racing for 11 years, fined $10,000 and ordered to pay $13,000 in costs at a hearing at Wellington airport on Monday.
Scott was a prominent owner of greyhounds and the central region representative on the New Zealand Greyhound Racing Board, a position he resigned before the hearing.
He pleaded guilty to corruption and supplying a permanently prohibited substance to one of his trainers, but Udy failed to use the substance and eventually reported the incident to the Racing Integrity Unit.
