Dramatic footage shot from a police helicopter in 2011 shows the moment one of a Gloucestershire-based drugs gang's couriers was arrested. Five members of a Gloucestershire-based drugs gang are behind bars for their part in a cocaine supply ring. Gloucester Crown Court heard the operation, which included transporting cocaine from Leicester, was masterminded by Mark Dainty, 45. Dainty, of Southgate Street, Gloucester pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to supply cocaine and money laundering. He was sentenced to nine-and-a-half years in jail. Three others received sentences of almost 15 years. The court was told the investigation started early in 2011 when one of the group's couriers was arrested. Gary Paul George Hooper of Evenlode Road, Tuffley, was later charged with possession with intent to supply a class A drug and jailed for four years in May 2011.

3 May 2013 Last updated at 21:43 ET President Barack Obama has said the war on drugs will not be effectively won unless the economies of Latin American countries are strengthened. Mr Obama was speaking in Costa Rica, where he is due to attend a summit of Central American leaders. They are expected to discuss ways of tackling increasing violence generated by drug cartels operating in the area. Most of the cocaine produced in South America is smuggled through the region before it reaches the US. At a joint news conference with Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla on Friday, Mr Obama said criminal organisations prosper in economically vulnerable countries: "The stronger the economies and the institutions for individuals seeking legitimate careers, the less powerful those narco-trafficking organisations are going to be," Mr Obama said.

Drugs testing out of competition needs "ramping up" after the Godolphin doping scandal, says British Horseracing Authority chief executive Paul Bittar. Trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni was banned for eight years after 11 horses tested positive for anabolic steroids. "People in this country genuinely have a dim view about the use of these types of drugs," Bittar told BBC Sport. "The testing in training programme, does it mean we need to ramp it up a bit? I think it does." I certainly don't believe the use of anabolic steroids is widespread throughout the industry A second Newmarket trainer faces a BHA inquiry for giving racehorses banned steroids. Gerard Butler told the Independent several of his horses had treatment for injured joints, but he had been assured the substance did not breach rules. Official figures state that between 600 and 700 tests were carried out last year as part of the testing in training sampling programme. There are around 20,000 racehorses in Britain, which equates roughly to a one-in-28 chance of a horse being tested while in training. In raceday testing for 2012, 7,182 of 90,174 runners were checked - about one in 13. Read more: Drugs testing 'needs ramping up' … Continue reading →
