RCI Releases State-by-State Drug Test Results
- Topics: Article
The Association of Racing Commissioners International (RCI) has released a state-by-state breakdown of the results of equine drug testing in 2013.
Racing regulators in the United States sent 340,932 biological samples to various laboratories for testing last year, RCI officials said. The results show 99.65% of the samples had no violation.
The organization released the breakdown in conjunction with a release that suggests that U.S. horse racing performs far more drug tests than the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and World Anti-Doping Association (WADA), yet has comparable number of clean tests.
