So there's no confusion, and I'm hardly a Dutrow apologist, Winstrol and the other approved steroids (Equipoise, etc.) remain legal in most racing juristictions and are NOT performance-enhancers. The jargon that "Dutrow admits giving Winstrol" makes it seem like that alone is an indictment of some kind and it isn't and should not be. .

The steroids are not the 'drug problem'. Tubing of horses (lactic acid reducing) and pain-maskers (snail or cobra venom, "caine" family drugs) represent the 'drug problem'.

Chasing steroids out is a seperate issue and has a benefit in certain areas, but currently is being employed as a publicity stunt to give the appearence of progress in ridding the game of 'drugs'.
