Re: [RC] [RC] reply to Bob Morris - Ed & Wendy Hauser
One could extrapolate from the number of tests done
last year, and the number of positives to get an apparent rate of substance
abuse by endurance riders. The problem is that with the small number of
positives the statistical error bars would probably be so large that one could
not draw any reasonable conclusions.
You may get a result that said: "within 95%
confidence I can say that somewhere between 0.01% and 52% of horses entered in
endurance races show evidence of prohibited substances..."
Additional testing would be a good thing, but as
you suspect we may not want to pay the price. How much of an increase in
entry fees do we want? $1, $10, $20, $100??
