The Supreme Court last year ruled police had acted lawfully when they gave the state's racing body information about evidence seized at Yangery, near Warrnambool.
McLean on Thursday lost a Court of Appeal challenge against the legality of Racing Victoria using that information to charge him with breaching industry regulations.
He was accused of administering a prohibited substance, corruption, dishonesty, misleading behaviour and conduct prejudicial to the interests, integrity and welfare of racing.
It comes as the 39-year-old also faces 17 criminal charges for alleged horse torture and betting corruption alongside his former boss Darren Weir and linked to the 2018 Melbourne Cup.
