Anabolic steroid ban recommended in Kentucky

 Return Home
July 16, 2008 Send To A Friend  | Print View

On Wednesday afternoon a subcommittee recommended that the Kentucky Horse Racing Commissionon ban the use of anabolic steroids in horses competing at Kentucky racetracks.
 
In a position statement, the Subcommittee on Anabolic Steroids, a subcommittee of the Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council and the state racing commission, recommended either (or both of the following in a post-race sample would constitute a violation as follows: "1--the detection of exogenous anabolic steroids and their metabolites; 2--the detection of endogenous anabolic steroids whereby the concentration of the substance(s), its metabolities, markers and/or any relevant ratio(s) deviates from established naturally occurring physiologic levels." No threshold levels were included in the Subcommittee's recommendations.
 
The Subcommittee presented its Position Statement to both the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission and the Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council. The drug research council, which makes drug and medication recommendations to the commission, is tentatively scheduled to meet Aug. 11, at which time it will consider the subcommittee’s recommendation.
