Instituting a 28 day withdrawl for clenbuterol is a joke. This is a legal medication that is used to treat a common problem, especially in a state that has a poor as air quality as S. cal does. They are going to kill the sport with thinking like this. You want to make the withdrawl a week? No problem, but in a state that is already hurting for horses taking horses that have lung infections out of circulation for a month is stupid.
We all know the steroid thing was coming and I do believe that there is abuse of these but a complete ban will also serve to shrink the horse population further.
Changing rules due to public perception usually leads to knee jerk reactions like this. Instead of trying to make workable rules that make sense they come up with ideas that may kill their product.
