"...If it were clear it would not be coming up every three months on
ridecamp...."
Clear has nothing to do with it. The reason it keeps coming up is
some people hope that they can find some magic way to get around the
clear intent of the rule and thus enjoy an advantage.
If the rule were to be changed to have a list of prohibited
substances, and maximum blood/urine values the postings would still be
there. The only difference would be that the questions would revolve
around how much and how long before a ride could the substance could be given
and still pass the drug test. Postings would laud bunches of
newly discovered concoctions that will not be found in the
test. Rumors would abound about certain people who had discovered a
marvelous substance that masked the tests for another substance. Rumors
would start that certain people had prior knowledge of which rides would be drug
tested and thus avoided being tested.
Under the changed rule the increase in numbers of
horses receiving prohibited substances or prohibited amounts of substances would
put an increased number of horses in danger.
