Here is some information the "humane advocate protectors" do not want you to be educated on. Another item of note is the "humane advocate protectors" have yet to release the injury statistics and drug testing results from the UNREGULATED dog racing that a co-founder of the hate based "humane advocate protector" group is involved with.
U.S. Racing Drug Test
Results Comparable to USADA & WADA Testing
LEXINGTON, KY – The results of anti-doping drugs tests conducted in 2013 by
state racing commissions, the United States Anti-Doping Agency, and the World
Anti-Doping Agency are “virtually identical” according to an analysis of all pertinent testing results.
“The
numbers don’t lie,” said Racing Commissioners International President Ed
Martin, noting that U.S. racing commissions sent 340,932[1] biological samples to a network of professional drug
testing laboratories in 2013.
99.65% of those samples were found to have no violation.
By comparison, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA)
performed 9,197 doping control tests in 2013.[2] Of the samples tested, approximately
99.55% were determined to have no violation.[3]
In 2013, testing authorities reporting to the World
Anti-Doping Association (WADA) performed 207,513 drug tests. Of that testing,
98.97% were found to have no adverse analytical finding.[4]
“The
anti-doping testing effort of U.S. racing regulators is 60% larger than the
entire world wide effort of WADA. Our program is thirty-seven times larger than
the one operated by USADA,”
Martin said.
“Drug
testing oversight in racing is performed by government agencies not beholden to
anyone but the public. We all have the same challenge and we are all combatting
it the same way and our results are similar,” he noted. “All sports have a challenge with those
who would deliberately rely on doping to affect performance. We must continue
to be vigilant in detecting and developing tests for substances that emerge.”
In 2013, racing commissions cited a total of 1,140
medication rule violations. Of that number, 1.2% (14) were for the most
egregious Class 1 doping substances; 5.9% (68) for Class 2 doping substances.
The overwhelming majority of violations - 60.3% (687) -
were for overages of Class 4 and 5 substances considered therapeutic overages
and not doping. 32.5% (371) of the violations were for Class 3 substances.
