Re: [RC] Sheik's horses positive for drugs. - Maryanne Gabbani

Over here Winstrol is commonly given by the higher priced vets to horses to increase appetite. The show breeders love it. I wouldn't be surprised if the other, Guanabenz, had the effect of lowering heart rates. Given the various things that Dubai horses and riders HAVEN'T? eliminated themselves for, I have to wonder who leaked things to the cousins in Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Bahrain.? With economic issues there, some of the wealthier vultures are circling and His Excellency has to watch his step carefully.

EVERYTHING in this part of the world is political.

Guanabenz (pronounced GWAHN-a-benz, sold under the trade name Wytensin) is an alpha agonist of the alpha-2 type that is used as an antihypertensive drug. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

The most common side effects during guanabenz therapy are dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, headache and weakness.

Guanabenz can make one drowsy or less alert, therefore driving or operating dangerous machinery is not recommended.

Stanozolol, commonly sold under the name Winstrol (oral) and Winstrol Depot (intra-muscular), was developed by Winthrop Laboratories in 1962. It is a synthetic anabolic steroid derived from testosterone, and has been approved by the FDA for human use.

Unlike most injectable anabolic steroids, Stanozolol is not esterified and is sold as an aqueous suspension, or in oral tablet form. The drug has a large oral bioavailability, due to a C17 α-alkylation which allows the hormone to survive first pass liver metabolism when ingested. It is because of this that Stanozolol is also sold in tablet form.

Stanozolol is usually considered a safer choice for female bodybuilders in that it rewards a great amount of anabolism for a small androgenic effect, however virilization and masculinization are still very common, even at low doses.

Stanozolol has been used on both animal and human patients for a number of conditions. In humans, it has been demonstrated to be successful in treating anaemia and hereditary angioedema. Veterinarians may prescribe the drug to improve muscle growth, red blood cell production, increase bone density and stimulate the appetite of debilitated or weakened animals.

Stanozolol is one of the anabolic steroids commonly used as an ergogenic aid and is banned from use in sports competition under the auspices of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and many other sporting bodies. It is also used in US horse racing.
