Title: New Doping Bill
Post by: eyeinthesky on June 13, 2019, 12:33:33 PM
No doubt Pocono and Yonkers will step up and support this bill !


The Horseracing Integrity Act (S.1820)
Introduced in the Senate
A bill that would bring uniformity for drug policy in U.S.
horse racing was introduced in the Senate late yesterday by
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Senator Martha McSally (R-AZ)
 
The Horseracing Integrity Act of 2019 (S.1820), a companion bill to H.R.1754, would bring sweeping reform to U.S. racing with the creation of a private, non-profit horse racing anti-doping authority, the Horseracing Anti-Doping and Medication Control Authority (HADA).  This new independent agency would be responsible for developing and administering a nationwide anti-doping and medication control program for horse racing with a single set of rules with uniform best practices for medications and treatments, testing procedures, laboratory accreditation and penalties.
 
The string of events in Southern California at Santa Anita Race Course have raised the question of equine welfare in racing.  The general public and racing fans alike are asking how this can happen in our historic sport. 
 
Over the last several years, Senator Gillibrand has followed the push for federal legislation to create HADA and right our sport. Now, because of public concern she is sponsoring the Senate version of the Horseracing Integrity Act.  Jeff Gural, a WHOA supporter, Standardbred owner and breeder, and race track owner welcomed the introduction of S.1820 by Senator Gillibrand. "As the owner of 3 harness racetracks including the Meadowlands, where we employ our own investigators and utilize the services of labs outside the U.S., I commend this action by both Senators. It is clear from our experience that the current system of having each state regulate an industry, that sends and receives track signals from all over the world, is obsolete." said Gural. "Even worse, for the most part, we tell the trainers and their vets what drugs we are testing for and what time we intend to draw blood or urine so it is no wonder that the chemists are simply ahead of the regulators. We owe it to the animals we love and to the customers who watch and wager on our product to provide a level playing field. I believe this legislation is vital now more then ever."
 
Senator Gillibrand is joined by Senator McSally in introducing the legislation. Jim Click, a WHOA member and a Thoroughbred owner and breeder from Arizona, couldn't be more pleased with McSally's support. "I've known Martha McSally ever since she was stationed here at Davis Monthan where she was flying the A-10's. She was a great representative in the House and she will be a great U.S. Senator." said Click. "I am thrilled that she has decided to take a leadership role as the Republican cosponsor of  the Horseracing Integrity Act to standardize testing for horses, especially after what has happened at Santa Anita.  I know she has a place in her heart for animals.  The Horseracing Integrity Act is in the best interest of horse racing and safety for our horses.  It will bring parity to the game." 
 
Currently, the House version, H.R.1754, sponsored by Congressmen Paul Tonko (D-NY) and Andy Barr (R-KY), has 117 cosponsors and is scheduled for a hearing before the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce.
 
The members of the Water Hay Oats Alliance will continue their push for passage of The Horseracing Integrity Act, a bi-partisan effort in both houses of Congress. WHOA's mission calls for integrity through clean racing, uniformity through the creation of a gold-standard anti-doping program for U.S. horse racing, and a ban on race day medication to meet international standards.
 

The Water Hay Oats Alliance (WHOA) is a grassroots movement of over 1,800 like-minded individuals who support the passage of federal legislation to prohibit the use of performance-enhancing drugs in the sport of horse racing. The appointment of an independent anti-doping program run by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) will resolve the problem of widespread drug use in American racing and put U.S. racing jurisdictions in step with international standards.

Doping destroys public confidence in racing, defrauds the betting fan, weakens the genetic pool and, most importantly, puts the life and limb of our equine athletes and their jockeys at risk. It is obvious that after years of committee review and discussion, America's racing industry cannot police itself by eliminating the proliferation of performance-enhancing drugs in our sport, nor does it possess the power to adequately punish the purveyors of these drugs.

According to USTA there is no need for new anti doping regulations. 99.7% of horses test "clear".

Funniest thing I’ve ever heard . . USTA is so far out of touch it’s crazy. Unless you are talking of the United States Tennis Association .

Mastertrotter   ...    You have 43 years of training and racing, but no response to Mike Campbell.  Provide some information to refute his claims that drugging horses is what leads to the need for lasix in the first place.

I can't believe they have the balls to actually put up a stat like that. Is there anyone that actually believes it. They are nothing but a propaganda machine.

yo, yo, Campbell Soup,

What an asshole.  You cunt.  You PETA pussy punk.  Delusional and attention-starved must be a tough way to go through your worthless like.  Why make shit up?  Get the facts.  I spent 2 minutes finding some facts.  Here's NJ in 2015:

2015 Equine Program – figures ending December 31, 2015
Samples taken: 27,735  Positives: 33
Positives by type: Atropine1  Clenbuterol1  Dexamethasone2  Dextrorphan1  Dimethyl Sulfoxide7  Flunixin2  Furosemide2  Hydroxy Xylazine2  Isoxsuprine1  Methylprednisolon e5  o-Desmethylpyrilamine2  Omeprazole Sulfide1  Phenylbutazone4  Scopolamine1  Stanozolol1


And before you run your stupid mouth about da bogeyman using undetectable da shit, remember that Jewffrey the heeeeeeeeeeeeeb uses Jackie Chan and they can find anything.  Bottom line, you're a cunt.  A stupid cunt.  A stupid, attention-starved cunt.  Until next time, sweetie.......... .HEIL HITLER!!

The only thing the USTA should say 99.7% is their level of incompetence when it come to fixing a broken system. There needs to be one governing body that has proper rules, testing and especially punishment for offenders!

why don't you speak like a human you fucking loser.

Mike knows his shit everything he posts is spot on and you guys could learn something here. assholes who believe all the bs over the years are the EXACT reason why horses are so fucked up today. btw, I rarely used lasix even when I was put on the bleeders list (purposely) I used enough only to test as it is also against the rules to run w/o if you are listed. Vets love to submit eiph forms, more money for them just like all the juicers bring in to them as well. also btw, I have never had a horse scope blood.

yo, yo, Stunned Forever,

Your name says it all, retard.  You've been in the game for 5 minutes if you never had one scope with at least some blood in the trachea.  Which is 4 minutes more than your fellow fuckups like Campbell Soup, Lice Man, Hammer Head and The Extorter.  Now, you are far too stupid to be on this worthless forum.  So shut the fuck up, bring the cans to the recycle and give that old Magnavox TV a hit on the side so you can finish watching Hannity.  Idiot fuck.  Until next time, darlings......... HEIL HITLER!!

"Most horses I've owned and trained have never had a needle in their neck, yet many were bleeders,"

Small data sample, but I've had 6 and none have bled.

I also see trainers with 75% of their horses on lasix.

There is something more than natural heredity and dna at work here.

   As long ago as the early 1700s , when the foundation sires of the thoroughbred breed were racing and breeding, EIPH was recognized as epistaxis, or bleeding from the nose. So if you are so ignorant as to think horses bleed because of da shit or vitamins, I got news for you, your wrong!

Neither of you are wrong.  It's true, some horses bleed and they do it while under the care of "hay and oats" trainers.  Allergies, sickness, overexertion.  All real.

Having said that, I think it's hard to argue with anyone making the point that the majority of today's EIPH is caused by human actions.  One doesn't even have to be one of "bad guy" trainers that give the "rocket fuel" to induce bleeding.  Too much Vitamin C, iron, caco copper and simple maintenance injections such as those can do it.

This is Gural's letter to the editor at HRU.

He basically agrees with my comments in the thread I started where I posted the USTA's official press release. In it they claimed Harness Racing was honest and cheating was not a problem.

I roasted them for telling a bald faced lie and giving the sport's worst offenders cover for their illegal activity.

Basically illegal activity numbers will go down if you don't test for up to date illegal methods. 11.dt

No need to test for Elephant Juice, Pelling and Nance were caught years ago. 91.jzail

I get that most of us agree and I'm preaching to the choir. tmbz1

But clearly Gural is the face of the best racetrack in the U.S. and he agrees.  hcx.1



Gural skeptical about USTA statement.
In Friday’s issue you published a statement by the USTA opposing the Horse Racing Integrity Act of 2019. With all the turmoil at Santa Anita, I think it’s fairly obvious that the public is going to demand that the Feds take over monitoring the sport. What I found most amazing in the statement issued by the USTA was the second to last paragraph where they said that test results prove that doping is not a problem. They went on to say that the anti-doping and drug testing program conducting by U.S. racing regulatory bodies showed that 99.71 per cent of standardbred horses were racing without illegal medication. This is coming from the USTA so if you believe that statistic then you should be very happy with the position they have taken. While I recognize that Lasix is an issue, in my discussions with the sponsors I believe they are willing to at least listen to our argument about the fact that our horses race far more often than thoroughbreds and as a result the rules for Lasix may have to be different. I am working very hard to identify the culprits and what chemicals are being used but having the USTA say it is not a problem shows a total disregard for our customers, the horses and the honest people trying to make a living in the sport they love.

Fuck Jewffrey Gural, that piece of shit hook nosed heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eb.

Remember this:  every time Jewffrey opens his mouth, just like his clone in the White House, Agent Orange, he lies.  So now he wants to shit on the USTA for merely presenting the facts, namely, 99% of tests are negative.  No controversy.  Its a fact.  Now, he thought he would turn the tide by hiring Dick(head) Cote and using Jackie Chan's  test tubes.  Fine.  So let's see the data, you two faced Zionist little weasel fuck.  You've had your "integrity program" for years.  You must have taken 1000's of tests.  How many positives?  How many new drugs?  And for those of you scoring at home, WHAT IS DA SHIT?  Cocksucker.  The USTA knows more than this sawed-off loser will ever know about the business.  Fuck him and anything he says or stands for.  Until next time, darlings......... ......HEIL HITLER!!
