The TVMDL’s drug testing laboratory was established in 1987 in response to the passage of the Texas Racing Act.

A graduate of the University of Hong Kong, Wong received his doctorate in chemistry in 2003, and his bachelor of science in chemistry in 1999. He is a professional member of the Association of Official Racing Chemists and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
