AGAIN-- the way the rules are set up, a trainer can be using performance enhancing drugs on his horses, and not be doing anything "illegal."
Aside from alkalizing agents, I believe California (and only recently) is the only state to do any testing to distinguish whether Clenbuterol is being used as a race day drug, as opposed to the way it is supposed to be used (therapeutically). Since this is a powerful bronchial dilator we're talking about, the difference is not academic.
