California Drug Meeting (832 Views)

As mentioned in the article I attached to the "Progress, Maybe" post, there is a meeting scheduled for 10:00 a.m Tuesday Pacific time in the Baldwin Room at Santa Anita to discuss proposed changes in the drug rules in California. I urge any of you that might be in the area to attend and make yourselves heard. I know of one TG poster so far that will be there.

I have been in contact with some of the local powers-that-be, suggesting that it is not only horsemen that have a dog in this fight, and they have been much more responsive than those in their positions usually are. Specifically, I have been pushing 3 things-- listing a vet of record in the program, freezing of blood samples, and publishing of C02 results on a daily basis. The last is significant because it tells us that a) the samples really are being taken, b) the tests are really being done, and c) the results are not being sat on. Yes, they could falsify the results-- but that would make the tracks active participants in what might very well be criminal activity, and I don't think they would risk it.

Just to make the scope of the problem clear, I have reason to believe that one major racing jurisdiction, which has rules against milkshakes, was not testing at their most recent meet. Possibly not even on a very big day. The problem is not that the cheaters are ahead in technology-- it's that there is little or no serious enforcement.
