Maybe Belinda can ask the bigger question of why this drug was ever made a legal medication in the first place? The time has come to remove clenbuterol from racing completely. Never mind withdrawal times, it never should've been permitted.
Some quotes from here and there:
The drug’s manufacturer, Boehringer Ingelheim, says clenbuterol “should be withdrawn” after 30 days. “Long term, you start pushing a horse into the beginning stages of heart failure,” explained Kenneth H. McKeever, associate director of research at the Rutgers Equine Science Center.
There's Navarro... "NAVARRO operated his doping scheme covertly, importing misbranded “clenbuterol” that he both used and distributed to others"
There's Servis.. "I didn't just start using this," Servis said, maintaining that he is well aware of when to stop using the drug to avoid a positive. "I've been using it for more than 10 years."
