Be nice if the drug was just used for breathing problems.It has many "uses." That is the problem.

It's effectiveness with regard to anabolic effects in horses are questionable. It would act as a stimulant if given an hour before a race, 28 days is a joke. It is a LEGAL drug produced in the USA and used LEGALLY by humans with asthma. I dont think that people understand that if you take away all means to help horses in regards to physical issues both minor and major, you are hurting the smaller owners and trainers who can not afford to give their horses extended periods of rest all the time. Ban steroids totally and you increase the time it takes for horses recovering from surgery. Which costs more money which makes an already unstable investment more unprofitable. All that crap about helping the breed is a lot of BS.
