[RC] What the AERC would do? (was: EC DQ) - k s swigartTom Sites said: I think the AERC Drug policy should be used at least. And it would take someone more familiar than me w/ the rules to point out what AERC would do if a National Champion failed a drug test and leave it at that. I believe it was the Canadian National Championships where a few years ago another UAE rider (or maybe the same one, I don't try to keep them straight, and I confess that I am not sufficiently interested in their accomplishments to do so...I don't even try to keep their horses straight, since it seems to the that their attitude is that both the horses and the riders are interchangeable, but that is a separate topic) who won the event "failed the drug test" and the AERC's response not only was not to sanction the rider at all (because, after all, he was only a jockey) and they didn't disqualify the horse from the event but decided to pretend that the horse never started. I suspect that Maryanne is right, and that much of the endurance racing research has been going into how to successfully drug a horse without getting caught. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
