RE: [RC] Polo Horses/Biodyl/Suplements - Paul

I use supplements. Probiotics, joint compound, (it's hard to find one without MSM and  Yucca, but they are out there), anti-ulcer, hoof builder.
 
BUT... If somebody came to me and offered to "fix" me up a batch of supplement, and it went " Well we have to get a compliant Vet to prescribe it for us, 'cause it's illegal in the USA, and then we get a pharmacy to cook up a batch for us, then we inject it before a ride/race/match...."  Well my hackles will go up. Then when the re-assurances go " Hey buddy this is good stuff, all the top cockfighting outfits swear by it.  What could go wrong?".. By then my response, as I head out the door would be something like, "Is this the same stuff Barry Bonds was using?".
 
Regardless if the problem came because of a "bad batch", it sounds like these folks were still running pretty close to the edge legally and morally.
