Theamounts of steroids taken by humans in "cycles" far exceeds what is given in therapuetic doses to horses. Winstrol and Equipoise (trade names for anabolics) are horse drugs so ANY human use is really misuse. Giving an anabolic on or close to raceday would have zero effect on a race day performance.
Why are they banning them then, you ask?
Because most people will make the same assumptions that BF made and think that a big step towards cleaning up the game has been made. However when you examine the details without the outcry then you see that this is a facade that will hurt horseman trying to follow the rules.
I am not saying that steroids can't and are not being abused by some. But with zero regulation that has existed what else would you expect?
