Columbus, OH — The USTA is aware of the sanctions handed down by the Delaware Harness Racing Commission (DHRC) on Oct. 17, 2024, subsequent to hearings held by that commission for seven USTA members who were the trainers-of-record for racehorses that tested positive for an unapproved medication, namely ADB-Fubinaca (synthetic cannabis).
The USTA is continuing to monitor the situation and is conducting its own investigation into the matter.
The USTA welcomes any information regarding these positive tests and the individuals involved. Tips can be sent to Standardbred Racing Investigative Fund (SRIF) investigator Vicki Humphreys at vicki@hmlgroup.us. Any information provided will remain confidential.
