A full day has been set aside for the hearing against Mr Fenton of Garryduff, South Lodge, Carrick on Suir.
This case which will be heard at Carrick on Suir District Court is being taken against the high profile trainer by the Department of Agriculture and Food.
Philip Fenton is facing a total of eight charges which the court previously heard arose from an inspection of his training yard in South Tipp on January 18th 2012.
State solicitor Paul Fitzpatrick said that a kilogram of Nitrotain and a 20ml bottle of IIium Stanbolic – both anabolic steroids – were allegedly found at the yard while the trainer also allegedly had antibiotics without the necessary veterinary prescriptions.
8 witnesses for the state are expected to be called during the hearing which the court was told will take about a day.
