You know I'm bored to be reading this stuff but these two 
announcements came side by side...

***********************

August 04. 2009

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE and 
Ruler of Dubai, will not be allowed to compete in 
International Equestrian Federation (FEI) endurance horse 
races until October 3 after an inquiry – the results of 
which were made public yesterday – confirmed one of his 
horses had been given banned substances.
He removed himself from events in April after his lawyers said 
horses at the Emaar Stables in Dubai had revealed traces of 
banned substances. The horse was found to have traces of two 
banned drugs in its system.

They were Guanabenz, a drug used to manage hypertension in 
humans, with a calming and pain relieving effect on animals, 
and, the anabolic steroid 16-b Hydroxy-Stanozolol, used by Ben 
Johnson at the 1988 Seoul Olympics

Euston Park, Norfolk: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid 
Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and 
Ruler of Dubai, clinched the top spot in the 120-km Euston 
Park Endurance ride on Monday.

***************************

So, why is this guy still competing? Second, a question about 
the hypertension drug. Since we all know it's just not logical 
that as soon as they get sold to the UAE horses suddenly can 
gallop a high speeds then walk into a vet check and be down in 
1 minute, is this drug being present evidence of how they're 
pulling it off? Why else would it bein a horse's system?
