Steroids are performance enhancers. If they aren't being used by everyone all the time or no one any of the time then some people have an advantage. It's bad enough people are doing illegal things, why in the world would an industry allow an obvious performance enhancer like steriods to be used legally. They should be banned from top to bottom including and maybe especially by breeders looking to inflate yearling prices at the expense of owners.
In addition, when they are used by some outfits, it makes it more difficult to tell why a horse improved sharply after a few months in the hands of a new trainer.
Did it improve because of legal activity or illegal activity?
They sometimes get lumped together.
