When the NYSRWB approved the strips in 1999 it was done so with the provision that they would be re-evaluated at the end of the year. The next month the NYRA’s then-president and chief executive officer, Terry Meyocks, announced the strips would be banned at NYRA tracks, according to Dr. Jim Chiapetta, a former practicing veterinarian and president of Flair LLC, which developed and produces the strips.
the above probably explains why folks are saying 'nyra'.

It actually doesn't accurately explain why people are blaming NYRA but it does give a stilted view of how someone COULD be confused.
