"Corticosteroids can be injected into joints and have therapeutic value. They also are prevalent at American tracks, and often given within days of a race, especially in the sport’s lower levels where sore horses must make it to the starting gate."

The "therapeutic value" I have no problem with . The part about using them so that "sore horses make it to the starting gate" is troubling.
