Lexington, KY — At its meeting last Friday, the ARCI Board of Directors added 18 substance classifications and recommended penalties to the ARCI Uniform Classification document that is the basis for the anti-doping and medication control program for horse racing regulatory authorities.

The substances were added upon the recommendation of the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium’s Scientific Advisory Committee with the concurrence of the ARCI Scientific Advisory Group.
