I had a filly trst positive for Naproxen a few years back in KY. We had stopped treating her 7 days before the race which was 5 days more than the withdrawl time suggested. There was no mistake on our side because we were acutely aware of the withdrawl time and we actually ran out of the med after her last treatment. I showed the vet records and our own med log to the stewards as evidence. As we found out later the test for naproxen was too sensitive and they were having all kinds of trouble at the lab. No DQ, no suspension, mandatory fine of $500 (after Veitch told me that it would be $250 if I waived my right to appeal). Well under the way the Fed prosecutor is intrpeting the law I could be hauled into Fed court for admitting that we gave the medication that came back positive. Having to defend yourself in Federal Court for mistakes made by others is not something that I want to be subject to.
