Wouldnt it be logical that use would be more widespread because of its recent legality and availability as opposed to blaming it on lax penalties? Are the penalties too lenient? Probably but this is another example where something is put out there without regard to the facts. The facts are it should be more widespread once it is legal and readily available as opposed to having to smuggle it in for Canada or France or Australia or somewhere else.

The drugs that now run the sport aren't anything that veterinarians are talking about. Just like the drugs that run cycling and track and field are drugs nobody is talking about.

They are very sophisticated and impossible to test for right now.

The drugs have become so good that a 41 year old woman can become an olympic champion swimmer. The ridiculous thing is these athletes like Dara Torres and trainers like Rick Dutrow have people that believe their performances or the performances of their horses are done without "help". People believe what they want to believe.
