RE: Bioscan at Hopkins Creek Ride

["Bob Morris" <bobmorris@rmci.net>]

AERC Rule 13. The integrity of Endurance Competition requires that the
equine is not influenced by any drug, medication or veterinary treatment.
Endurance equines must compete entirely on their own natural ability. Aerc
prohibits from competition equines who contain evidence of the
administration of abnormal substance or of normal substances in abnormal
amounts (exogenously administered compounds even if normally found
endogenously) Since complete effects of such administration cannot be known,
the fairness and safety require the prohibition of such practices.

13a. The use of additional therapies during competition shall be prohibited.
This shall include any invasive procedures(e.g.:accupuncture), manipulative
procedures (e.g: osseous manipulative procedures), the use of devices to
manipulate or stimulate acupressure or response points,(e.g.: Bioscans,
laser lights' magnetic stimulation devices, etc). Competition shall mean the
time from the pre-ride veterinary examination to the completion of the final
veterinary examination for the event, including best condition judging.

What could be more plain than that?

I have seen other competitors at a ride using bioscan before...I wasn't
aware this was a no no.  I have used Bio Scan regularly between rides.  Why
would this be any different from any other health treatment...chiropractic,
acupuncture, massage, etc.?
