 Anabolic Steroid Testing Available at CTHS Alberta Sales

As of 2008, a sixth condition will be added to the Conditions of Sale in the CTHS Alberta Sales catalogues. The condition requires the consignor to warrant that any yearling entered in the sale shall not have been administered any exogenous anabolic steroids within 45 days of the date of the sale. Testing will be available to the purchaser at the sale under certain conditions that may be read in further detail in the sales catalogue. This change follows a recommendation put forth by the Thoroughbred Safety Committee formed on May 8, 2008 by The Jockey Club. The recommendation calls for "The immediate adoption by all North American racing authorities of the RCI Model Rule on Androgenic Anabolic Steroids that was based on Racing Medication and Testing Consortium recommendations, which effectively eliminate the use of all anabolic steroids in the race training and racing of Thoroughbreds .


Please note that beginning in 2009, the CTHS (Alberta Division) Summer Yearling Sales will be for Canadian-bred horses only!
