Horse racing-Trainer Servis sentenced to four years in prison for racehorse doping

(Reuters) - Jason Servis, former trainer of thoroughbred Maximum Security, has been sentenced to four years in prison for his role in a years-long racehorse doping scheme, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York said on Wednesday.

Servis, 65, pleaded guilty last year after prosecutors said he doped nearly all of the horses under his care including Maximum Security, who appeared to have won the 2019 Kentucky Derby before being disqualified for interference.
