Prosecutors have accused Fishman of manufacturing illegal performance-enhancing drugs that harness and Thoroughbred trainers, including Navarro, administered to their horses to win lucrative purses and enhance their reputation. Prosecutors say those charged acted without regard to horse welfare, risking breakdowns and death.

Prosecutors allege that Fishman was especially sought after because he claimed that his products wouldn't appear in customary post-race testing.

“Don't kid yourself,” Fishman is heard saying to an unidentified male individual on the other end of the line in a wiretap from Apr. 15, 2019. “If you're giving something to a horse to make it better, and you're not supposed to do that, that's doping. You know, whether or not it's testable that's another story.”

The jury saw a video of Navarro’s X Y Jet winning a $2.5 million race in Dubai in 2019. In a text seen by the jury, Navarro thanked Fishman for his help after the race.
(X Y JET later died of a heart attack like Medina Spirit)
Another prominent name that emerged in court in one of the wiretaps was that of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai……………………………

"This is a program that Dubai Equine spent probably $2 million devising for their Thoroughbreds, you know?” Fishman tells Hall. “It is part of a program that uh, you know, [unintelligible] there's other stuff too. This is what they do for all their horses and overall, they are very happy. Shiekh (sic) Mohammed Maktum (sic) said the best three years, you know, in the 30 years he has been racing and they are very happy
