After a 12-month investigation, Racing Victoria stewards have laid charges against the trainers of five different stables over positive tests to a breast cancer drug.
Trainers at five Victorian stables have been charged over their horses testing positive to a breast cancer drug that Racing Victoria revealed is not legally available for human use in Australia.
Amy Yargi also works as a mounting yard presenter for Racing.com. The industry’s broadcaster says her role will not be affected. Formestane is used internationally for the treatment of breast cancer, mainly in postmenopausal women, because it inhibits the production of estrogen. It can also lead to an increase in the body’s production of hormones and testosterone.
“The ARTG is the public database of therapeutic goods that can be legally supplied in Australia. This means that formestane cannot be legally supplied for use in humans in Australia.”The five positive horses – Chan’s gelding Lake Tai, Kavanagh mare Circle Of Magic, Sandhu’s gelding Alphaville, Wilde’s mare Sirileo Miss and the Yargi’s gelding Yulara – were stood down for a year under RV’s mandatory suspensions for steroid positives. Their 12-month bans have now expired.
“Since the irregularity, she has been tested multiple times and each time has returned a negative swab,” the Kavanaghs wrote.
