You have probably nailed the cause of the positive swabs. There is a substantiated rumour the head of of a swab analytical service once boasted he could trace a teaspoon of sugar in a swimming pool. Had you a horse that could ingest a swimming pool full of water, I'd suggest you would be in trouble because some genius would tell us sugar is a performance enhancer. After all, it supposed to give you an energy hit!
There are just too many people earning a living behind the scenes in our sport these days. Frankly, I hate parasites.
