Deep Impact has tested positive ipratropium, a banned substance and may be disqualified from his 3rd place finish in the Arc. This is a sad state of affairs with disappointment being followed by disgrace. Contrary to their earlier statements that he would return for next year’s Arc, his connections have stated that he will be retired at the end of this year. A sorry end to what could have been a great career.
