Anti-Doping Research Inc., which oversees the non-profit Equine Drug Research Institute in California, has developed a test for CERA, a blood-doping agent.

Like the test developed for human competitors, the test for horses successfully detects CERA in plasma after the drug has been administered intravenously, ADR officials said in a release. ADR was founded by chief executive Dr. Don Catlin, founder of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory.

Catlin, at the 2005 Jockey Club Round Table conference, announced he was doing work for the equine industry in the area of developing tests for drugs. The equine industry kicked in with an effort to initially raise about $3 million.

“We are proud of this development,” Catlin said in a statement. “If implemented, this new test can close a major testing loophole and help eliminate the use of one of today’s most powerful doping products in equine sports.”

It is encouraging that this test is cost effective as well as reliable.

Is blood doping dangerous to horses if done under the supervision of an experienced Vet?

I wish they would start using this test to nail all the guys that are using CERA. Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen. The racing boards will probably issue a warning that they are going to start testing for CERA. So all the cheaters will stop using it and nobody will get caught.

Exactly. They came up with the same proclamation about EPO and virtually no positives occurred. Until the drug companies started putting markers in the drug itself, I doubt anyone stopped what they were doing.
