You then go on to say you can't say performance enhancing drugs are being used if it hasn't returned a positive....then say its most likely snake venom is in Aus. There has been no positives to snake venom so you contradict yourself.
The reason why they are classed as performance enhancing drugs, Because if its aministrated within that timeline and show up on race day then it is performance enhancing. If your swab comes back clear then i guess your within the guidelines and it doesn't counr as being drugged.

Also on the snake venom. I did have America at the end of the quote. Also the first case registered of the stuff being found in the fridge of a stable in the states was from an Australian vet. So yeh i wonder if it has made its way here ?
