Kentucky Horse Racing Commission Recommends Steroid Ban
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)–A subcommittee of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission unanimously recommended an anabolic steroid ban in horse racing Wednesday.
The recommendation closely mirrors the national model rule proposed by the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium. At least 10 states have approved the model steroid rule, though Kentucky has remained a high-profile holdout.
The recommendation will go to the Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council, which could edit the language of the proposal before sending it to the commission for consideration. KHRC executive director Lisa Underwood said she hopes a steroid ban will be on the agenda at the next meeting, on Aug. 25.
