Re: [RC] FEI is OK with Bute ... no reaction from the US? - Truman Prevatt
I'm under the assumption that it is a proposal that has not yet passed.
I've been out of town and have not paid much attention.
I'm not a member of FEI so I have no say. What they do is their
business. However, it will be interesting to see how this impacts the
interaction of FEI rides in the USA. I guess the USEF could maintain
the current policy and there would be no change. However, if the USEF
followed the FEI - the AERC durg rule would be in direct conflict with
the FEI drug rule.
That would mean one of two things, the riders in the US would be
running under different rules than those in the rest of the world since
a normally at FEI rides in the US a rider is entered in both the AERC
open ride and FEI ride. I guess a rider could be disqualified from the
AERC ride by not the FEI ride if they tested for bute. It would be
interested to see that flap. It could also mean that there will be a
larger separation of the sport FEI vs. AERC in the US.
It is really too early to tell the impact. However, it is yet another
example that the sports are diverging and at some point a separation is
probably eventually coming.
Hello,
I find a bit strange that no reactions are coming from the other side
of the ocean. In Europe it seems that the biggest nations were against
this new regulation.
I heard that the proposal came from the US? Any comments? Was the US
fedaration supporting this request? And if this is true, how can a
federation propose such a big change without first getting input from
the riders?
I know that our federation are governed by showjumping lobbies but am I
so naive?
Opinions ?
