A greyhound trainer who admitted using chicken blood to train dogs at his property east of Perth has been fined, disqualified and quit his board role.

Anthony Glenny admitted the practice earlier this month at an inquiry, which was held after he refused to answer questions by Racing and Wagering Western Australia stewards following an inspection of his Bakers Hill facility on May 3.

He pleaded guilty to using a lure that was not entirely free of animal tissue, refusing to disclose the identity of a person or people who asked him to undertake live baiting at his premises, and using improper words during a phone conversation with the chief steward.

Glenny has been fined $1700 today and disqualified for 18 months.
