The way it is set up now, if you guys ran one of the horses from Mr. Equipoise 30 to 120 days from the time you got it, you could still come back positive. Even if you gave the horse nothing for 4 months. There are still questions about the testing yet Arthur and company choose to cast stones.

I see your point and understand where you are coming from , but Ive worked with Rick and I know he is a pompouse prick , and Im sure when he was asked the question it was prolly not at the greatest moment .
He has been asked to do what no one else has been asked to do and that is regulate meds on the behalf of the state to the extreme , he is very compitent and smart and has owned, bred and raced his own horses so its not like he is out of touch with reality as far as steroids are concerned.
I just dont see the need to blast horses with Equipoise every ten days like people do , and they dont care if they do it to studs who def dont need it and geldings alike. People think that by giving their horses steroids that they are just rising up to the level of competition.
I dont agree with banning them outright but I do agree with regulating them .
