time I looked USEF's Endurance rules mirrored AERC's, including the
no drugs policy. This med approval most likely does not apply to the
Endurance discipline. Additionally, our rides are either AERC
sanctioned or AERC/FEI sanctioned. Not USEF
sanctioned.

I couldn't open the web link that John T had posted in his
original. I asked him if this policy would effect endurance as I couldn't
read it. John thought it might and I was responding to that
information in regard to my post on the relationship of both organizations in
regards to endurance. He also did mention that only one USEF endurance
event has been sanctioned here.
Steph, What is your feeling on how this would effect international
endurance if FEI approves the drug. Aren't many countries "national"
programs sanctioned by FEI. Obviously, would not be legal at FEI/AERC co
sanctioned rides but how would this in your opinion effect competitions that
were not co sanctioned.
I know that gastroguard is not considered a performance enhancing drug and
many both in AERC and FEI do not really consider this drug a violation in spirit
of the AERC drug policy. What is the probability that FEI will approve
this drug for use in endurance? And if they do will this substance be
considered in the same category as gastroguard?
