7 Horses Test Positive
May 20, 2013 by staff
7 Horses Test Positive, Last year’s Ladbrokes St Leger hero Encke is among seven more horses formerly in the care of Mahmood Al Zarooni to test positive for anabolic steroids.
The British Horseracing Authority undertook an extensive testing programme at the yard of the trainer following his eight-year suspension after he admitted adminstering banned drugs to 15 horses in his care.
The BHA testing has now uncovered another seven horses, including the Doncaster winner, who have returned positive results for the steroid stanozolol.
Testing at the other Godolphin yard of Saeed bin Suroor returned no positive results for banned substances, the BHA said.
Encke will now be banned from running for six months, meaning he cannot return to action until October 29th.
The other six horses – Energizer, Genius Beast, Improvisation, Stamford, Steeler and Zip Top – will also be barred from racing until that date.
