    None of these substances below have been uncovered in Australian Testing? Could never happen here?


    The volume of his doping was prodigious. Prosecutors alleged he
    supplied illegal drugs – including snake venom, a “pain shot,” and
    blood-doping agents – to trainers across the United States.  In 2019
    alone, the indictment states, Grasso submitted false prescription
    information for drugs containing erythropoietin (EPO) to more than 10
    pharmacies in at least seven states. Just for one trainer, Grasso is
    said to have ordered 4,000 units of EPO.

    Grasso deceived government agencies, racing regulators, pharmacies,
    and the betting public, prosecutors said, ordering powerful drugs for
    non-existent animals using licenses of other veterinarians in some cases
    to try to avoid suspicion. He then peddled them to trainers seeking an
    illegal edge. He was caught on wiretap talking about horses who may have
    died because they were “over juiced” by a trainer. “I've seen that
    happen 20 times,” he added.

    Combination of propantheline bromide (which increases blood flow to muscles) and ipratropium bromide which is a bronchiodilator. Rodney Weightman, so called "King of The Claimers" got disqualified, an awful lot of others didn't.
