A DISGRACED horse trainer known as ‘Juice Man’ is set to be released from prison – after his role in an ‘extreme’ doping scandal that shamed the sport.
Disgraced horse trainer Jorge Navarro had his own ‘Juice Man’ shoes – a dark reference to his prolific doping of racehorsesJorge Navarro is set to be released from prison after admitting his role in one of racing’s biggest ever doping scandalsRex
The leading US trainer, who had more than 1,000 winners and bagged huge races including the Golden Shaheen in Dubai, was described as a ‘reckless fraudster’ and, amid tears, pleaded guilty to doping horses in a Manhattan courtroom.
He said at the time: “I was hungry to be a winner and somewhere along the line the pressure got to me.
“I thought I had to win to be respected in the racing industry.
“I became a selfish person who only cared about winning and I lost my way.
“I take responsibility for all that I have done and apologise to the people that I have hurt.”
A post from respected journalist Ray Paulick showed Navarro was due for release from a Miami prison on Tuesday, June 18.
US District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil handed down Navarro’s sentence four-and-a-half years ago and, in summing up, described the scale of his cheating.
She said: “For years, Mr Navarro, you effectively stole millions, cheating other trainers, owners and jockeys you competed against.
“You also demonstrated a collective, callous disregard for the wellbeing of the horses.
“The bottom line is you likely killed or endangered the horses in your care.
“The reality is someone who loves horses does not subject them to such cruel and dangerous treatment.”
While US Attorney Damian Williams said: “Jorge Navarro’s case reflects failings, greed, and corruption at virtually every level of the world of professional horse racing.
“For money and fame, corrupt trainers went to increasing extremes to dope horses under their care.
“Unscrupulous owners, who stood to profit directly, encouraged and pressured trainers to win at any cost.
“Veterinarians sworn to the care and protection of their patients routinely violated their oaths in service of corrupt trainers and to line their own pockets.
“Assistants and grooms all witnessed animal abuse in the service of greed, but did little to stop such conduct, and engaged in myriad ways to support notoriously corrupt trainers.
“Structures designed for the protection of the horses abused in this case failed repeatedly; fixtures of the industry – owners, veterinarians, and trainers – flouted rules and disregarded their animals’ health while hypocritically incanting a love for the horses under their control and ostensible protection.
“Standing as the keystone for this structure of abuse, corruption, and duplicity was Jorge Navarro, a trainer who treated his animals as expendable commodities in the service of his ‘sport.’
“This sentence appropriately condemns the danger inherent in Navarro’s crime and reflects the seriousness with which this Office takes the kind of abuse that Navarro practiced.”
Navarro’s most famous horse was 2019 Shaheen winner X Y Jet, who he regularly drugged with a substance he called ‘monkey’.
The grey sprinter died from an apparent heart attack in January 2020.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS have unearthed the remains of a 1,000-year-old Viking Age person, who was buried with a small dog at their feet.
The human and the canine were buried together in an 18-foot-long “sewn boat” in around 900 to 950 CE, according to experts from the Arctic University Museum of Norway.

While the boat has nearly all but collapsed away – some of the woodwork is still visible as a thin, dark strip.
What archaeologists are most excited about is the small dog’s remains.
“[The pet] appears to have been placed with real care,” Anja Roth Niemi, an archaeologist with the Arctic University Museum of Norway who helped excavate the site, told Science Norway.
“There are stories of prominent people doing everything in their power when their dog became ill.
“So even back then, people had deep bonds with their animals.”
Like today’s pet owners, it is well documented that the Viking’s loved their dogs.
Numerous animal remains, including horses, have been found buried alongside their presumed owners in Viking Age graves.
“We get very close to those who lived long ago,” added Niemi.
Archaeologists began excavating the site last month, two years after the burial was first discovered by metal detectorists exploring a field on Senja, an island above the Arctic Circle in northern Norway.
While the sex of the remains is yet to be revealed through DNA testing, archaeologists suspect the grave belongs to that of a woman.
Treasures found inside the grave include two bronze oval-shaped brooches, a ring-shaped pendant attached to her ear or to a headpiece.
The oval brooches were decorated with silver thread.
Archaeologists also found two beads made of either amber or bone, a whetstone made of slate and an iron sickle, and artefacts they suspect may have been used for textile production.
One elongated tool suspected to be made from a whale bone may have been a weaving sword, according to experts, while the other appears to be a spindle whorl.
Such decorated brooches have never been found in the graves of Viking Age men, while textile production was a skill spearheaded by women.
Viking women would spin sheep’s wool and plant fibers into yarn or thread, they would then use a spindle whorl to make it into a fabric to make clothes.
The possessions suggest the woman had significant local or regional status, according to experts.
“She wasn’t at the very top of the social ladder, but she was clearly an important figure,” Niemi said.
Archaeologists found the woman buried with her knees bent up against one side of the boat and her arms gathered in front of her pelvis, according to a Facebook post from the Arctic University Museum of Norway.
Fragments of the individual’s garments may offer more insights into Viking funerary practices in Norway.
Once the excavations are complete, archaeologists will transport the grave’s contents to a laboratory in Tromsø for further documentation and testing.
Further analysis of the human remains is required to understand their age, height, health and lifestyle.
“We’ll learn about the kind of work she did, whether she went through periods of poor nutrition and whether she lived in different places during childhood and adulthood,” added Niemi.
Archaeologists believe there may be more undiscovered Viking burials in the area.
A Viking Age brooch was found several feet away from the recently excavated grave, which could indicate that the burial is part of a larger grave site.

Model and TV personality Christine, 37, delighted her former co-stars when she made an surprise return.
A insider told The Sun: “Christine’s return was kept top secret from everyone, so they were all so excited to see her come back.
“The cast were really sad when she quit the show, even though they totally supported and understood her reasons, so it was great to see her come back.
“She started the journey with them all, so it was the perfect end that she got to finish the series with them too.
“Christine may not have found love on the show, but she seemed really happy and in a great place.
“Leaving the show was the right decision for her but she loved being back in the mix without the pressure of having to actually date on camera.”
The Sun has contacted a rep for the show for comment.
The celebrities looked in good spirits as they partied the night away.
Christine – who was married to comedianPaddy, 51, until theirsplit in 2022– looked stunning in a purple low cut asymmetric dress and silver heels.
A pal told The Sun: “Dan and Christine have known each other for years.
“Their friendship goes as far back as 2019, when Jac was heading Down Under to the I’m A Celeb jungle, when they had a brilliant night out at a fund-raising gala in London.
“They stayed in touch sporadically and would bump into each other at events and their messages got pretty flirty.
“Some were seen by mutual friends.
“She would call him ‘D’ in texts and it became an open secret among their circles.
“There is no suggestion anything sexual happened, but it’s fair to say there was a spark between them.”
Former Towie star Dan is adamant nothing happened romantically between the pair, even suggesting that the text messages between them were “deep fakes or AI” when asked.
A pal said: “Dan is devoted to Jacqueline and would hate for any suggestion of impropriety.
“Of course, it’s possible for a man and woman to be mates.”
The Sun revealed that modelChristineleft theE4show after becoming “overwhelmed” with the attention onher love lifeand missing her family.
In a statement, Christine said: “I joinedCelebs Go Datingwith great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me.
“They’ve said the door is always open for me, which I’m so grateful for, but for now I’m returning home to my family.”
Christine and her ex, comedian Paddy McGuiness announced they had separated in 2022 after 15 years together.
The couple first met through a mutual friend in 2007, when she was 19 and he was 33.
Two years later, he popped the question and they married in 2011 at Merseyside’s Thornton Manor Estate.

STANDING alone in the dark an 11-year-old Josie Clark had no idea how she was going to get back to her care home.
She didn’t even know where she was having been abandoned in the middle of nowhere by a group of men because she had refused to have sex with them.
Josie Clark was sexually abused by a grooming gang from the age of 11Claire WoodShe was plied with drugs and alcohol in exchange for the abuseSuppliedLancs PoliceTwo of her abusers were jailed for five years and eight months, with a judge condemning Zulfar Hussain, 46, (pictured)[/caption]
Handout pic - refer to Picture DeskQaiser Naveed, 32, was jailed for “exploiting” vulnerable children[/caption]
And when she eventually did make her way back to the children’s home in Blackburn, she would find her door locked as a punishment.
While the men had put her in a dangerous situation Josie, now 33, continued to hang out with them as they finally gave her the attention she was so starved of.
But as Josie later found out, they were not her friends but a paedophile ring who groomed and sexually abused her from the age of 11 in exchange for alcohol, drugs and gifts.
She admits feeling like a ‘child prostitute’ and feeling so brainwashed that even after some gang members were convicted, she continued to feel a loyalty towards them.
And so hearing the news that the government will hold a national inquiry into the grooming scandal, Josie Clark feels a wave of relief.
Josie says: “The inquiry should have been ordered many years ago. There are children being groomed and abused today, just like I was, and this decision is long overdue.
“I have done my best to move on with my life but it’s impossible.
“I am mistrustful of everyone; I can’t share my life, or my home, with other adults. I have trauma and anxiety. I don’t sleep properly.
“For many years, I blamed myself. I thought I was a child prostitute; I thought I had made the wrong decisions.
“Aged 11, I was plied with drugs and booze and I was raped and sexually assaulted on a daily basis, sometimes by several men. And yet I was brainwashed into thinking they loved me.”
Josie’s turning point came aged 29, when she underwent therapy and adopted her pet dogs. She credits them with saving her life but says the damage and the stigma from grooming will haunt her forever.
“It took me until I was 29 to understand exactly what happened,” she says.
“I got my first dog, and the love I have from him is just incredible.
“I look forward to seeing how a national inquiry deals with the social workers, the police officers and the other agencies who so far have not been held to account.
“The system needs to change so that children are supported and this is the first step.”
Josie was taken into care as a small child at the age of four. Aged six, she found herself in a children’s home with teenagers, and she was sexually assaulted by another resident.
She says: “During these years, I was bouncing back and forth between different foster homes, children’s homes and my family home.
It wasn’t always the same men, and sometimes, we’d get out of one car and straight into another.
Josie Clark
“I had no stability and no love.”
Aged 11, living in a children’s home, she fell into the clutches of a grooming gang.
She says: “I went out with my friend one night and she introduced me to them.
“We got into a car, the men drove us round, gave us cannabis, and then dropped us off again. It became a pattern, every night, and we skipped school to see them.

“They bought us food and items of clothing and gave us Jack Daniels, cocaine and ecstasy.”
‘Aged 11, I was raped’
But the men quickly demanded something in return, and Josie lost count of the times she was sexually assaulted.
She says: “It wasn’t always the same men, and sometimes, we’d get out of one car and straight into another.
“Sometimes, I was so drugged up I hardly knew what I was doing. They’d take us to dingy flats and houses, sometimes overnight.
“Aged 11, I was raped by a man who told me he loved me, and he was going to marry me. I was so confused and troubled that I scratched his initial onto my arm.
“I hated the sexual assaults, but I had become dependent on the men. I owed them, and by now I was addicted to drugs and cigarettes.”
Josie says that if she refused their advances then the consequences were dire.
“If I refused to have sex, I’d get a smack,” she says.
“Once, they drove to a remote village and just left us there in the dead of night. They had a knife which they waved about. I was wary of them.
“And yet, I had a loyalty to them. They were the only people who showed me any care or love – that was how I saw it, as a child.
“The children’s home staff seemed keen to punish me, but not as keen to find out why I kept going missing or where I was.
“Their punishment was either to stop my pocket money, or lock me out of my bedroom, which just pushed me back to my abusers.”
‘I thought it was my fault’
Aged 15, Josie and another friend were victims of a serious physical assault, when two of the men attacked them with an iron bar. Shaken, they went to the police.
Josie says: “Even then, I was conflicted.
“I didn’t want to get the men into trouble. I reported the physical assault, but I honestly didn’t think sexual assaults were criminal. I thought they were my fault.”
In August 2007, two of her abusers were jailed for five years and eight months, with a judge condemning Zulfar Hussain, 46, and Qaiser Naveed, 32, for “exploiting” vulnerable children.
What is grooming and where to get help?
What is grooming?
According to the Metropolitan Police, “Grooming is when a person builds a relationship with a child, young person or an adult who’s at risk so they can abuse them and manipulate them into doing things.
“The abuse is usually sexual or financial, but it can also include other illegal acts.”
Types of grooming
Grooming can take place online or in person and it can happen over a short or long period of time – from days to years.
Online and through social media
In person
Signs of grooming
Are they being secretive about how they’re spending their time?
Do they have an older boyfriend or girlfriend?
Do they have money or new things like clothes and mobile phones that they can’t or won’t explain?
Are they drinking or taking drugs?
Are they spending more or less time than usual online or on their devices?
Do they seem upset or withdrawn?
Are they using sexual language you wouldn’t expect them to know?
Are they spending more time away from home or going missing for periods of time?
A person won’t know they’re being groomed, they will trust their abuser who is giving them lots of attention and gifts. Also, their groomer may have warned them not to talk to anyone about it.
How to get help and support
Grooming is an offence. If you suspect a person is being groomed, even if you’re not sure, please tell someone.
Is someone about to be attacked or hurt? Is a crime taking place right now? If yes,call999 and ask for the police.
If it isn’t an emergency you can report grooming to the police on 101.
Hussain admitted abducting a child, sexual activity with the same child and supplying the youngster with ecstasy. Naveed pleaded guilty to the same offences.
Following Josie’s report, Operation Engage was launched, and it became the first major investigation into child sexual exploitation and grooming gangs.
Josie says: “Even after the trial, I continued to blame myself and it ruined all my relationships going forwards.
“When the sexual abuse ended, it felt like a break-up. I went from one type of trauma to another. I felt so angry all the time and my mind was constantly on the go.
“From my social services records I discovered I’d been sexually abused as a child. On the second occasion it took three days for the offence to be logged and that really breaks my heart.
“It feels like nobody cared about me at all.”
Aged 29, Josie began therapy and was found to be suffering with severe trauma.
She says: “The therapy really helped, and I started to understand myself. I have my dogs, Bestie and Kyra and they are a big comfort to me.
My message to other survivors is not to keep quiet – you should shout it from the rooftops
Josie Clark
“My message to other survivors is not to keep quiet – you should shout it from the rooftops. This is nothing to be ashamed of and it’s only by speaking out that we will be able to expose the abusers.
“I’d appeal to anyone who is being groomed or abused to please speak out and get help. Your voice is your most powerful weapon.
“I hope the inquiry exposes not only the abusers but the agencies who have failed the children along the way.”
It comes as devastating report found that grooming gang victims were failed by cops and public officials more bothered about dodging claims of racism.
Baroness Louise Casey found perpetrators got away with it because of fears about inflaming community tensions.
Josie took legal action against Blackburn with Darwen council, claiming they failed her as a child. She accepted an out of court settlement and the council did not admit liability in relation to her claim.
Councillor Julie Gunn, executive member for children, young people and education at Blackburn with Darwen Council said after the case: “It’s always brave to speak out about abuse.
“This is a historical case and it’s important to acknowledge the long-term impact of abuse. There are strict legal rules around sharing information about individual cases however we can speak direct to people involved and this will happen.
“Safeguarding is taken very seriously, and we have prioritised tackling child sexual exploitation to protect young people at risk of harm.
“Tough action is taken to deal with offenders and lots of support is available for those who are vulnerable or have been affected.”
