							consider but not be limited to the following: the length of involvement in
							racing of the affected parties, the economic interdependence of the parties,
							and the nature of the licenses. However, the spouse of a person suspended for
							10 or fewer days shall not be suspended.

					such entitlement have been met. However, laboratory reports issued more than 60
					days after the date of a race may be considered as evidence of a violation of
					division rules.
(4) Failure by the
					kennel owner or owner of an animal to return previously distributed purse
