The true story is that there was a fire in his barn. Luckily it happened when people were there and the horses were saved. There was a lot of smoke that horses inhaled. All were saved but given time to recover. THIS IS THE TRUE STORY NOT THE RUMORS

Same old, same old.

If it's listed as banned then the trainer is responsible, no arguing that
I would like to hear from a vet or someone with knowledge what this does for a racehorse,
as I read it is a de-wormer, something everyone has to treat their horse with
why is this particular one banned?
does it improve performance, or is deemed unhealthy for the horse

It metabolizes within the body and turns into aminorex which is an analogue to methamphetamine.

It seems that not many plopsters read the last beckwith blog here when I posted this information. 10+ years ago there were quite a few levamisole positives (see toscano et al). If I remember correctly, you could test positive at 96 hours {4 days}. I believe now they changed on the timetable could be 10 days or 2 weeks. So, logically they missed the timetable [memo] on this, thus the suspension.
