A scheme to give performance-enhancing drugs to a racehorse constitutes conspiracy to commit wire fraud within the meaning of a federal statute, New York Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum has ruled. Cedarbaum compared horse-doping to smuggling, which the 2nd Circuit has said satisfies the wire fraud act's requirement of a "scheme to defraud." The defendants were charged as part of a larger investigation into corruption in racing that included associates of the Gambino organized crime family.

Rejecting a motion to dismiss an indictment, Cedarbaum said the standard under the wire fraud law was met even though Gregory Martin and his co-defendants did not make any affirmative misrepresentations.
