Report: Dutrow Facing Drug Positive

[Echo Farm]

More good publicity for racing.

A horse trained by Rick Dutrow tested positive for twice the allowable level of the bronchodilator clenbuterol, which helps burn fat and promote muscle growth, the New York Times reported June 25.

The Kentucky Horse Racing Authority will issue the ruling June 25, suspend Dutrow for 15 days, and demand the horse’s owner to return the $20,000 in purse earnings, racing officials told the newspaper.

The strange thing (I hadn't noticed it before) is that the Bloodhorse
is getting information from the NY Times.
