Dexamethasone positives...
« on: February 16, 2024, 12:09:24 PM »
A few couple years back, DR. Fishman was was warning clients SFG 1000 his gogo juice, may produce a false Dex. positive. We have seen a rash of Dexamethasone positives lately. No trainer or vet. who has spent anytime in this game thinks they can get Dex past the test. I seriously doubt these test are the result of a Dex. overage or to close to race time.

I'll agree with that!
 
I hope people don't think that stuff just went away. It's still business as usual for some trainers!

It's ground up sheep. Ovine placenta. It has dex in it to stop allergic reactions, made to be given a week out. People just using it too close. But remember it was bragged up to work, it doesn't.
