Substances made the horses run faster than their natural ability allowed, increasing risk of injury. FMTNews HorseRacing Doping MaximumSecurity
NEW YORK: Some 27 racehorse trainers, veterinarians and support staff have been charged with running an elaborate horse doping ring described as the largest ever to be prosecuted in the United States, federal justice officials said on Monday.
An indictment said Servis – whose Maximum Security finished first in the Kentucky Derby last year only to later be disqualified for interference – had administered performance-enhancing drugs to “virtually all the racehorses under his control”. “These defendants engaged in this conduct not for the love of the sport, and certainly not out of concern for the horses, but for money.“The care and respect due to the animals competing, as well as the integrity of racing, are matters of deep concern to the people of this District and to this Office.
