QLD:Jockey suing slim spray company

A Queensland jockey is suing a slimming company after he was disqualified from a race
he won .. for being too light.

Lawyers for WANDERSON D'AVILA have filed a lawsuit against the makers of SensaSlim
Solution for more than 12-thousand dollars plus loss of reputation.

He bought the product .. which is sprayed onto a person's tongue to fool the brain
into believing they've eaten .. after seeing it on a TV show.

After taking it .. Mr D'AVILA won the second race of the Gold Coast Turf Club's February
19 meeting .. but was disqualified for being almost one kilogram under his allocated weight.

He says he bought SensaSlim because it "sprayed away hunger" .. but claims it wasn't
made clear to him that it would also "spray the kilos away".
