Notes of Decisions

The rules of racing prohibit a licensee from being under the influence of alcohol or drugs while on the grounds of a racetrack and being in the possession of any unlawful drug. Luzzi v. State Horse Racing Commission, 548 A.2d 659 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1988).

This section is not a criminal statute and reference to ‘‘terms and meanings of the criminal and drug statutes’’ is reference to ‘‘unlawful or dangerous drug’’ and not to possession. Luzzi v. State Horse Racing Commission, 548 A.2d 659 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1989).
