Sheikh Mohammed launches inquiry after police seize drugs from Dubai jet

(Excerpt)...

An illegal shipment of unlicensed veterinary goods was seized from a Dubai government private jet by UK authorities at Stansted airport earlier this year, causing Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UK's leading owner of racehorses, to launch an internal investigation into his equine operations.

Thousands of pounds worth of unlicensed products – including steroidal injections, anaesthetics and anti-inflammatories that have been described as "potentially toxic and dangerous to horses" – were seized and destroyed by the UK Border Agency and the Veterinary Medicines Directorate on 3 May at 7pm following the arrival of a Dubai Royal Air Wing flight. Sheikh Mohammed is monarch of the gulf emirate, as well as the owner of Godolphin, the country's largest Flat racing operation.
