Re: [RC] doping//stress fractures/anabolic steroids - Beverley H. Kane, MDTitle: Re: [RC] doping//stress fractures/anabolic steroids Stress fractures in human athletes can be caused by use of anabolic steroids. I would not be surprised if these fractures in horses are related to the doping w/ Stanabol/stanozolol - BKOn 4/13/09 9:52 AM, "Steph Teeter" <stephteeter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: One thing that is interesting is that the vets over there are observing an increased incidence of stress fractures. This is the type of injury that was rarely associated with endurance riding in the past - much more common would be soft tissue injury and osteoarthritis. They attribute this to the higher speeds that endurance horses are running at. (flatter groomed courses, better training and management techniques). _______________ Beverley Kane, MD Horsensei Equine-Assisted Learning & Therapy Woodside, CA http://www.horsensei.com The Manual of Medicine and Horsemanship-- Transforming the Doctor-Patient Relationship with Equine-Assisted Learning http://www.authorhouse.com/bookstore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=49669
