British Horseracing Authority Tightens Its Anti-Doping Rules

Postby Whirlaway » Thu Nov 21, 2013 12:04 pm

The British Horseracing Authority said on Wednesday that it has moved to close a loophole in its anti-doping rules which allowed nine Newmarket trainers to escape disciplinary charges earlier this year despite having used the drug Sungate, which contains the banned anabolic steroid stanozolol, on a total of 43 horses.
