I need to be educated here.
Humans and horses are different species. One weighs about 200 pounds and has 2 legs. The other weighs about 1000 pounds and has 4 legs. Not to mention after reading the names in the Mitchell report it is questionable exactly how performance enhancing winstrol in humans is. Most are the baseball version of maiden 5000.

I thought it was used for horses that were in bad shape and not eating well. Or for anemia. I know it is a derivative of testosterone in humans. I think this is the hormone Ben Johnson of Canadian sprinting fame used and got his record thrown off the books for. Could be wrong. Might have taken his medals.. anyways I think this was the steroid.

The question in my mind is of giving the drug automatically to all his horses on the same date each month. Not in favor of the automatic shot.

hard to argue it's for therapeutic purposes if every horse gets it regardless....
