Brewer Adams, Defendant Below, Appellant v. Delaware Harness Racing Commission, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Commission's sanctions against Adams for three positive drug tests. It held that the hearing officer's failure to issue a decision within 30 days did not violate due process absent prejudice, and it rejected Adams's claims of bias, attorney misconduct, and failure to consider mitigation. The Commission had conducted a de novo hearing, relied on substantial evidence, and imposed minimum penalties.
