Anytime money is involved, cheating will be there. The horses are just the window dressing.
May the best drugs win!

Yep, the horse was just an innocent bystander in this. It is bad enough that they run colts instead of mature horses and endanger their eventual health but they have to give them drugs too. Pure greed by unethical humans and the horse is blameless.

I played high school football in the 1980's at the dawn of the steroid era. Even back then it was fairly widespread among high school athletes and you didn't have a prayer of getting a college football scholarship unless you did steroids. I would have liked to have played college ball but there was no way I was going to do steroids. I was pretty strong naturally back then, I was 6'2", 225 pounds, I benched 405 my senior year in high school and could run a 4.8 second 40 yard dash. My position was offensive guard, I'll never forget going up against this one steroid freak. He was a defensive end and I had to block him as a pulling guard. I ran at him at full speed and put my shoulder into him. It was like hitting a brick wall, I was barely able to move him. Needless to say he went on to a full boat scholarship at Syracuse and I didn't lol but I'd be willing to bet he has way more health problems than I do these days.

  My youngest brother retired just a few short years ago, as a coach in a university and in an affluent suburban high school.
  He cautioned his players against getting hooked into the steroid syndrome.

     What would seem to to surprise may, was the fact that even the obvious threat of the diminution of their genitalia, still did not prevent some from using the steroids.

  I guess they made their choice..

The genital thing was enough to keep me away back then, it's crazy how widespread steroids still are.

  Yeah! just imagine..some guy uses steroids so he looks like Mr America, then he attracts the girl of his dreams..and when the time comes, she has to look real hard to distinguish him from her sister!
