Re: [RC] Drug testing - detection and sample size - heidiWould it be reasonable to assume that Rule 13 violations would be more common among the top 10 horses in a ride, and thus concentrate the random testing on those horses? Not necessarily. There is always the chronic horse with the owner with the lets-get-through-one-more mentality. The thing about Truman's stats, if you think about it, is that they underscore how rare drugging is in our sport, considering the number of tests that ARE done. The more rare the infraction, the harder it is to catch any without testing a whole bunch. If drugging was a common occurrence, we'd see a few positives at the level of testing that we do.
