I realize 25% of DT readers feel I "don't get it", but I have to think that these horses were administered some kind of concoction what was either supposed to enhance or hinder their performance, depending on who administered it.

I thought the same thing. Perhaps the concoction was to be diluted prior to administering?

Supposedly it was tainted steroids (Winstrol) administered by a South American vet (I'll see if I can find a link)

I think the tainted steroids theory has already been discounted (not sure). Lots of rumors flying. Nothing real on the veterinary lists yet.

Here's the most current info I just found: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/30305180/
