Greyhound trainer Anthony Fowler fed his dogs Viagra and cannabis A greyhound trainer who pumped his dog full of Viagra to make him 'run his head off' at unlicensed races has been banned from keeping dogs for life. Anthony Gregory Fowler, from Stockton-on-Tees, also gave his greyhound cannabis to slow him down, allowing him to profit from wins when the dog was then given more favourable odds. The 61-year-old was affecting odds at unlicensed race meetings, Hartlepool Magistrates Court heard. The trainer told police in an interview he fed his greyhound Jake boiled cannabis when he wanted him to lose races.
