New Doping Bill

[eyeinthesky]

No doubt Pocono and Yonkers will step up and support this bill !


The Horseracing Integrity Act (S.1820)
Introduced in the Senate
A bill that would bring uniformity for drug policy in U.S.
horse racing was introduced in the Senate late yesterday by
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Senator Martha McSally (R-AZ)
 
The Horseracing Integrity Act of 2019 (S.1820), a companion bill to H.R.1754, would bring sweeping reform to U.S. racing with the creation of a private, non-profit horse racing anti-doping authority, the Horseracing Anti-Doping and Medication Control Authority (HADA).  This new independent agency would be responsible for developing and administering a nationwide anti-doping and medication control program for horse racing with a single set of rules with uniform best practices for medications and treatments, testing procedures, laboratory accreditation and penalties.
 
The string of events in Southern California at Santa Anita Race Course have raised the question of equine welfare in racing.  The general public and racing fans alike are asking how this can happen in our historic sport. 
 
Over the last several years, Senator Gillibrand has followed the push for federal legislation to create HADA and right our sport. Now, because of public concern she is sponsoring the Senate version of the Horseracing Integrity Act.  Jeff Gural, a WHOA supporter, Standardbred owner and breeder, and race track owner welcomed the introduction of S.1820 by Senator Gillibrand. "As the owner of 3 harness racetracks including the Meadowlands, where we employ our own investigators and utilize the services of labs outside the U.S., I commend this action by both Senators. It is clear from our experience that the current system of having each state regulate an industry, that sends and receives track signals from all over the world, is obsolete." said Gural. "Even worse, for the most part, we tell the trainers and their vets what drugs we are testing for and what time we intend to draw blood or urine so it is no wonder that the chemists are simply ahead of the regulators. We owe it to the animals we love and to the customers who watch and wager on our product to provide a level playing field. I believe this legislation is vital now more then ever."
 
Senator Gillibrand is joined by Senator McSally in introducing the legislation. Jim Click, a WHOA member and a Thoroughbred owner and breeder from Arizona, couldn't be more pleased with McSally's support. "I've known Martha McSally ever since she was stationed here at Davis Monthan where she was flying the A-10's. She was a great representative in the House and she will be a great U.S. Senator." said Click. "I am thrilled that she has decided to take a leadership role as the Republican cosponsor of  the Horseracing Integrity Act to standardize testing for horses, especially after what has happened at Santa Anita.  I know she has a place in her heart for animals.  The Horseracing Integrity Act is in the best interest of horse racing and safety for our horses.  It will bring parity to the game." 
 
Currently, the House version, H.R.1754, sponsored by Congressmen Paul Tonko (D-NY) and Andy Barr (R-KY), has 117 cosponsors and is scheduled for a hearing before the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce.
 
The members of the Water Hay Oats Alliance will continue their push for passage of The Horseracing Integrity Act, a bi-partisan effort in both houses of Congress. WHOA's mission calls for integrity through clean racing, uniformity through the creation of a gold-standard anti-doping program for U.S. horse racing, and a ban on race day medication to meet international standards.
 

The Water Hay Oats Alliance (WHOA) is a grassroots movement of over 1,800 like-minded individuals who support the passage of federal legislation to prohibit the use of performance-enhancing drugs in the sport of horse racing. The appointment of an independent anti-doping program run by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) will resolve the problem of widespread drug use in American racing and put U.S. racing jurisdictions in step with international standards.

Doping destroys public confidence in racing, defrauds the betting fan, weakens the genetic pool and, most importantly, puts the life and limb of our equine athletes and their jockeys at risk. It is obvious that after years of committee review and discussion, America's racing industry cannot police itself by eliminating the proliferation of performance-enhancing drugs in our sport, nor does it possess the power to adequately punish the purveyors of these drugs.

According to USTA there is no need for new anti doping regulations. 99.7% of horses test "clear".

Funniest thing I’ve ever heard . . USTA is so far out of touch it’s crazy. Unless you are talking of the United States Tennis Association .

Mastertrotter   ...    You have 43 years of training and racing, but no response to Mike Campbell.  Provide some information to refute his claims that drugging horses is what leads to the need for lasix in the first place.
