1 Nannogram was the amount the horse had in him which is about 1/100000 of a bees dick in amount and i have measured a bee.

[VVV] Yeh? That's 1 billionth of 1 gram.
Perhaps another good example of the ongoing & desperate need for thresholds to be put in place for a range of substances, levels above which are deemed pharmacologically active & below which are simply ignored. Incidentally, by way of some sort of a yardstick, a human drugs of abuse test (for Ketamine use) is deemed to be positive if the tested level comes back at 1000ng/ml or higher.

Thanks for the info Greg about the one nannogram found in the swab, can you let me know where that info is? I have been looking everywhere to no avail to find the levels detected as the levels have a bit to do with the effects of this drug, I know Jamie is saying it's a sedative but my information is that in particular dosing/levels rather than acting as a sedative it can act as a bronchodialator, freeing up the airways as such, which, obviously will have a positive effect on the horses performance rather than putting him to sleep.

So greg if you can help us out there that'd be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Dan

Gee fancy that! one puny little nannogram hey? I'm beginning to think this poor bloke is one of the unluckiest trainers going around! First he and McCarthy get done for Boldenone on the same night at Newcastle, which you'd have to say is some sort of coincidence, then McCarthy gets off because his sample does some really wierd things whilst in storage, but poor Barry's sample just behaves as per normal, (like every other sample has in storage since they started storing them years ago) and he gets nabbed for that too!

poor bloke must have done something to wreck his luck hey?
