It isn't that the drug is wrong or bad...but it isn't approved for use in horses, meaning it is more than likely that they didn't get it from their vets (at least not the horsey vet)...which can lead one to conclude that they are trying to elude the testing. Vets use drugs off label all the time, (even giving rabies vaccines to late term broodmares is off label) this just seems worse.
