IRB Board Approved Drug Testing Policy
The Illinois Racing Board has unanimously voted to adopt the anabolic steroid model rule formulated by the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium and approved by Racing Commissioners International.
The anabolic steroid rule, which will apply to both thoroughbreds and harness horses, will take effect May 1, 2008, with testing scheduled to begin until September 1, 2008 enabling tracks to notify horsemen and the board to secure funding for the tests to be conducted by the University of Illinois-Chicago’s forensic toxic laboratory.
