Interesting oped by Barry Irwin on "PEDS" (733 Views)

He argues that the biggest problem facing racing is the epidemic use of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) and he advocates imitating the US Olympic approach of having an independent oversight group that is responsible for detection and enforcement.

He feels that the racing industry (as was the US Olympic Committee) is incapable of policing itself.

It's hard to disagree with that.
