[RC] Sheik banned but competing? - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

You know I'm bored to be reading this stuff but these two announcements came 
side by side...

***********************

August 04. 2009

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, will 
not be allowed to compete in International Equestrian Federation (FEI) 
endurance horse races until October 3 after an inquiry – the results of which 
were made public yesterday – confirmed one of his horses had been given 
banned substances.
He removed himself from events in April after his lawyers said horses at the 
Emaar Stables in Dubai had revealed traces of banned substances. The horse was 
found to have traces of two banned drugs in its system.

They were Guanabenz, a drug used to manage hypertension in humans, with a 
calming and pain relieving effect on animals, and, the anabolic steroid 16-b 
Hydroxy-Stanozolol, used by Ben Johnson at the 1988 Seoul Olympics

Euston Park, Norfolk: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, 
Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, clinched the 
top spot in the 120-km Euston Park Endurance ride on Monday.

***************************

So, why is this guy still competing? Second, a question about the hypertension 
drug. Since we all know it's just not logical that as soon as they get sold to 
the UAE horses suddenly can gallop a high speeds then walk into a vet check and 
be down in 1 minute, is this drug being present evidence of how they're pulling 
it off? Why else would it bein a horse's system?
