Kevin,
Appears that you like to read small snippets of the story and not the whole article.
The EVA has no issue with the use of the supplements as long as they are;
"In response to this, the AEV email details: only products registered for use in horses be administered; the dose and frequency of administration should be consistent with manufacturers' recommendations; injectable supplements should not be administered on consecutive days and not be administered within one clear day of racing."
The test conducted by HRNSW the horses were administered as per the manufacturers recommendation, dosage 1ml per 50kg and no restrictions on daily use. There is no mention from the manufacturers with regards no consecutive days.
The facts are that if the authorities are so concerned about the misuse of Cobalt why don't they simply ban the use of all cobalt containing supplements?? Plain and simple answer and why have the authorities taken this approach??

Adam, I'm not keen on getting further involved in this debate, I hung up my boots on it a while ago after doing a lot of work to substantitate my beliefs and subsequent statements, but I am going to say this one last thing, which is pretty much a mirror image of what I was saying very early in this affair, it's a REAL problem, HRNSW have not gone off half cocked here, there has been an awful lot of work done in order to arrive at levels that can be proven beyound any doubt that a) the horse has been administered with something other than large doses of regular supplements and b) the substance had been administered inside the current restrictions.
You can believe whatever you like mate, that's your choice.
cheers,
Dan
A little bit of subject but the sport would be better off if all supplements were banned within 7 days of racing level playing field for everyone.Willn't happen but can dream i guess.
If you get a chance, read the link in post #421 barney. OTI Racing's thoughts.
The Day McDowell inquiry has been adjourned until 25 /2/15

With the articles, reporting the arrest of Victorian harness racing participants, claiming a Victorian participant is thought to be supplying Cobalt - it seems remarkable that there has not been a trainer suspended in Victoria for a positive to cobalt

Just read that and no names released so all trainers now have a stigma over them if they have positives Name them and then put them out to the hearing like Nsw have.Mood y Kavanagh and Price still training as if nothing has happened.
