In as much as any drugging scandal will have to come from the FEI, and the UAE own the FEI, it's highly unlikely that you will hear about anything substantial, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the vast sums of money being spent on research in the Gulf are only on exercise and diet....

I have to agree with Nik. I am just blown away at the time. And it doesn't appear that these horses are one shot wonders. Most of the horses were 7-14 years old. So much for the argument of running them into to the ground especially when the winning horses pulses down to 49 bpm). It can't be that they are breeding the best horses in the world and keeping them for themselves because they would have had to set out ten years ago to reach this goal. Incredible. It really has to be in their training program. Unless somewhere along the way we'll hear about a drug scandal al la US baseball. I hope they have high beams to signal that they are passing me on the left as I go about my 6.5 mph in the slow lane!
