Aminorex link found?

April 02, 2007 Send To A Friend  | Print View

The Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency (CPMA) on Monday issued a memorandum regarding the rash of aminorex positives in Ontario and that there could be a possible connection to the adminstration of the deworming medication levamisole.

The following is the statement issued by the CPMA:

Following an unprecedented number of positive test for aminorex, the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency (CPMA) undertook studies to determine possible sources of the presence of the drug. As part of our ongoing research program, we administered levamisole products to horses under controlled conditions, and found aminorex in the urine samples taken from these horses. We are continuing with the administration and analysis of other products for the purposes of determining other possible sources.

Please be advised that, based on these results, the administration of levamisole to racing horses could result in a positive test for aminorex.

Signed, Tim Pettipas, executive director
