The Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit announced Monday the launch of its anonymous whistleblower platforms that enable participants in the Thoroughbred industry to submit tips safely and anonymously regarding potential violations of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority’s anti-doping and medication control program.
The ADMC program took effect when the Federal Trade Commission announced its approval of its governing rules Monday.
Using the designated telephone line, text line or email address, any industry participant can anonymously submit information relating to covered horses, barns, trainers or other covered persons for review by HIWU’s investigations unit. Submissions are accepted 24/7. Whistleblowers can include their contact information if they are open to potential follow-up from HIWU’s investigators. But this option is voluntary.

“Our anonymous whistleblower platforms will empower concerned individuals to safely and securely alert HIWU to potential violations of the AMDC program, including situations where the welfare of the horse or integrity of the sport may be compromised,” Michelle Pujals, HIWU’s general counsel, said in a news release.
Individuals who would like to submit tips can report by telephone at (888) 714-4498, by text at (855) 901-8477 or via email at [email protected].
