Who knows ? Horses I raced could have been on anything because I would never know. No owner would. Unless it came back positive.

Another question. What recourse does the owner of those DQ's horses have ? I don't think any. That process could take a month or months. They immediately go to your Bookkeeper's account for the purse seizure and if you don't have enough they block you from the entry box until it is paid.

I don't know whether I've ever seen an owner sue a trainer for purse seizure due to a positive. Why, I don't know.

Is a tangled mess.

Yes and litigation is always the answer!
