No real details concerning amounts of drug needed to cause performance difference, or amounts found in the stall samplings; I assume cause of residual contaminants was urination by horses.
These drugs found were very common, Lasix and Bute of course allowed on raceday, others I do not think are ones most commonly causes of violations.
I question this chemist's allegation that other drugs would be found if more stall sampling was done- not very scientific.
Ca will soon begin more allowances for residuals, etc.
This article again points up the problem of inconsistent rules.
