Beijing Olympics: Four Show jump horses fail
dope test _22/08/2008_ (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2008/08/22/) Four show jumpers were suspended from the Olympics
yesterday after their horses failed a drugs test. Ireland's David
Lynch and riders from Germany, Norway, and Brazil were ruled out,
putting the team result in doubt. All four horses had traces of pain
reliever capsaicin, which helps improve
performance.
and a later comment from the same
list:
The press interviewed 100 top jumping
horses and when asked if they would take a performance enhancing drug that would
make them win and be undetectable. Only 22 of the horses answered nay, the
rest simply nodded their heads.
