Columbus, OH — According to Paulick Report, harness trainer Rene Allard has been included in a superseding indictment filed in federal court last week by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York against Louis Grass, Donato “Tony” Poliseno, Thomas Guido III and Richard Banca.

Each of those defendants have already entered not guilty pleas to one count each of drug adulteration and misbranding conspiracy for their role in what prosecutors say was a scheme to “manufacture, distribute, and receive adulterated and misbranded PEDs and to secretly administer those PEDs to racehorses under scheme participants’ control.”

The allegations in this new indictment filed on Dec. 3 are similar to those filed against Grasso, Poliseno, Guido and Banca in February and March of this year.
