2009 Kentucky Derby first in history to check for steroids post-race

Last year Big Brown juiced before he won the Kentucky Derby.  This year, if a horse uses the same drug as Brown (Winny, stanozolol), he gone. Post race steroids testing will be administered to the top 4 finishers for the first time in Derby history. To the Press-Enterprise

The biggest change at this year's Kentucky Derby won't be noticed by any fan or disrupt the routine of any horse. In fact, its only evidence will be sealed and stored in a padlocked refrigerator minutes after the race.

For the first time, the signature American thoroughbred race is screening for anabolic steroids -- a quiet step that industry officials are hoping will help the sport's image.

"Our existence depends on public confidence," longtime breeder Arthur Hancock said. "If we lose that, we lose our livelihood. Its extremely important we get this mess cleaned up."

Last year's Derby winner, Big Brown, was on steroids at the time of his victory -- a fact known only because trainer Rick Dutrow acknowledged he injected the horse with the then-legal steroid stanozolol.

If this year's winner tests positive for more than a trace amount of stanozolol, the horse will be disqualified and the trainer subjected to a lengthy suspension.

The race gained some excitement this morning with the favorite scratched.

This piece certainly represents the party line of steroid apologism, to wit: Since we can't prove the guilt of every single person who took PEDs, it is therefore unfair to prove the guilt of even one person, because that is "singling them out."

Need to be careful with allegations as if the substance is not named, rulings are different in different countries, and of course, the potential for nobbling. It's been done before!

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
