UPDATE: FIVE Queensland greyhound trainers have tonight been banned for life in the wake of the shocking live baiting scandal which has rocked the sport.
Reg Kay, Tom Noble, Debra Arnold, James Harding and Tony McCabe have all been warned off racetracks for life and banned from placing a bet or training or owning any registered racing animal.
Racing Queensland Chairman Kevin Dixon said after carefully considering the submissions and evidence and the seriousness of the allegations, the decision had been taken to warn off the five trainers.
"As a board we determined the actions of these individuals proved they should not be considered fit and proper persons to continue to be involved in the greyhound industry," Mr Dixon said after an RQ board meeting at Deagon.
"The conduct we saw from these people in the evidence provided to us is not only against the rules of greyhound racing, it is deplorable by its very nature.
"There is no place for anyone who engages in this type of conduct in the industry."
The RQ board is still yet to make a decision on the cases of trainers Greg Stella and Michael Chapman.
Mr Stella appeared in person to make a verbal submission to the RQ board which referred the matter back to the stewards to undertake a stewards' inquiry.
Mr Michael Chapman made a written submission and his case was adjourned to a later date after new evidence came to light.
The life bans have been imposed in the wake of the animal cruelty scandal which was exposed by the ABC's Four Corners.
The program aired clandestine footage showing live piglets, possums and rabbits being attached to mechanical lures and mauled by greyhounds at private training tracks in Queensland, Victoria and NSW.
