"..."eyewitness" to someone givng something by syringe..."
Since giving anything by injection is an invasive
therapy, the injector is toast even if he/she can prove that the substance was
normal saline.
It is possible and very easy to cheat in an
endurance ride. Trail can be cut. Prohibited substances can be
given. Registration papers can be forged etc. BFD.
We will not achieve 100% compliance with the SPIRIT
of the rules of our sport by doing more policing. We have to do a
reasonable job (perhaps more than we are doing now), and personally follow the
spirit of the rules. I spend my time and energy competing in the best way
I know how, following the spirit of the rules at all times. I can then
sleep well knowing that I am part of the solution, not the problem.
One of the really pathetic things I note on these
posts is that if one looks at an endurance horse as a multi year investment,
most of the proposed usages of prohibited substances or non-prohibited
substances in abnormal amounts, would actually decrease your probability of
achieving your long term goals.
