olumbus, OH – The primary focus in our industry for many years has been the strict regulation of therapeutic and
permissive medications. The real issue, that we faced then and still today, is the need to eliminate
the usage of performance enhancing drugs (PEDS) and blood doping agents. While the need to
monitor the proper administration of therapeutics is indeed relevant and necessary, we should treat
both concerns as equally important. It is safe to say, the current emphasis is not one and the same”,
said Ontario Harness Horse Association President Jim Whelan.
