We usually will stop 48 hours before that simply to avoid a bad test since clembuterol seems to generate more bad tests than any other med.Does that put us at a disadvantage? I doubt it considering how far out from a race you are at the legal withdrawl time. I suppose if you were to give 1 cc a few hours before the race the levels would come in sky high and that would hardy be dangerous to the horse. Most of the levels that horses test positive for are microscopic.

Apparently the allowable level is 20 petagrams per milliliter. Dutrow's horse was at 41.
