Good
news yesterday from Racing Commissioners International. The RCI helped pave the way for state racing commissions to implement tougher anti-drug regulations. Here are the first two graphs of the press release from the RCI:
"RCI Board of Directors unanimously has approved a drug reclassification of stanozolol, boldenone, nandrolone, and testosterone, moving the anabolic steroids to Class 3 from Class 4. This change in classification clears the way for racing commissions to impose tougher penalties for a positive test consistent with the Model Rules or their individual jurisdictional practices.
“This move is consistent with the fact that the racing commissions believed the existing classification of a positive for these steroids was not sufficiently serious based upon the unanimous opinion of the Drug Testing Standards and Practices Committee as well as the majority recommendation of the Veterinary Pharmacology Subcommittee,” RCI President Ed Martin said."
Andrew again: Anyone have a quabble with this? I don't.
