Sumitas,
Needless to say, I'm in total agreement with you...if only for this reason,
"abuse of steroids in horses can cause negative side effects, including reproductive problems in both males and females. If given to young horses, steroids can cause premature closure of growth plates."
Seems to me that there is some complex testing involved to determine steroid use.
So...in light of the fact that an "honor system" isn't going to work, how do you think an anti-steroid policy can be implemented?
