Good article by Voss in the Paulick Report today. www.paulickreport.com/news/ray-s-paddock/epo-what-we-know-and-what-we-dont-about-the-blood-doping-threat/This is what stood out as I was told on Monday that within 3 years some of the big names in racing will be implicated in cheating. Hooper Dr. Mark Cheney, board member of the Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council (KEDRC), suspects the use has become more common than people want to believe. Cheney has been outspoken in meetings of the KEDRC over the effectiveness of EPO testing more so than any other performance-enhancing substance. Cheney is also disturbed by the volume of distributors marketing EPO-like products on the Internet. “It is, I would say, just about epidemic use in our industry,” he said in an Oct. 2, 2018, meeting of the KEDRC. “Some trainers, I'm not going to mention any names, their horses are just rebreaking at the eighth pole. “We're never going to be able to test for these products … if we have just an inkling of research to show we can identify someone that's using an epogenic product, as soon as you put that on the front page of the Lexington Herald-Leader, they'll stop using it. There's probably some pretty important people in this business that have done it.”

Some years ago there was a lot of speculation about Pletcher and EPO. This, because he had horses that weren't particularly fast, but that just kept going at a sustained pace while others back up. I don't think anything ever came of it. What's different now?

Getting very close to an accurate thoroughbred EPO test. Different than human testing.

i'm absolutely certain it is being used...as absolutely certain as I am that NO POLITICS is the President of the USA. it is pretty obvious who is likely using it...just check out the winning percentages of some of the trainers out there right now and compare to historical averages. don't make me name names
