RE: [RC] Drug testing - detection and sample size - Libby & Quentin Llop DVM
I
think you'll find that most of the random samples are taken in the top ten. If
we want to uncover drug use taking samples from the horses that the vets
suspect, rather than randomly would give us more results for our testing
dollar. Libby

and sample size
Would it be reasonable to assume that Rule 13
violations would be more common among the top 10 horses in a ride, and thus
concentrate the random testing on those horses? If an effective use is
being made of prohibited substances, it may be among those who dream of
selling the "winning" horse internationally. The monetary value of ride,
year end awards, and endorsements is not that great at AERC (that is non-FEI)
rides is not that great.
Could you recalculate on that basis. It may
bring the cost somewhere near that which can be afforded by the AERC.
