Speaking at the IFHA’s 47th Annual International Conference inwards Paris, France, before this month, Romanet congratulated the Australian Racing Board and New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing for their sum ban on anabolic steroids inwards grooming as well as racing.
“We must eradicate it inwards all Graded and Black Type races which are the races that brand the breed worldwide.
“I am too delighted past times the progress made inwards South America where Lasix is immediately prohibited in all Grade 1 as well as two races as well as totally prohibited inwards all Graded as well as Black Type races inwards a country like Brazil.”
But he said progress had been mixed inwards the US.
“In USA, the Breeders’ Cup had taken a leadership conclusion to prohibit Anabolic Steroids inwards all its races from 2008 onwards. It was followed past times the ban on Lasix inwards its two y.o. races inwards 2012 with a sum ban planned inwards 2013, simply unfortunately the Breeders’ Cup has been reversing its policy on Lasix for 2014.”
However, progress was hopeful every bit Breeders’ Cup Chairman Bill Farish lately declared “we are hoping to convince horsemen of the long term vision of running medication free”, Romanet said.
“Also, concluding year, Jim Gagliano told us that the Jockey Club marrow belief was that horses should compete alone when they are gratuitous from the influence of medication.”
