Anabolic steroids are allowed to be used in the UAE if horses are not in training and are recovering from problems such as colic surgery or serious fractures to combat muscle wastage. Racehorses must then come to race day trace-free.
The standardised levels to these traces are very low given the hormone levels of geldings in comparison to red-blooded colts.
Depending on the recommended dosage, anabolic steroids can remain in the bloodstream of a thoroughbred for between four weeks and three months.
In Australia, the rules of racing are exactly the same as they are in the UAE, whereas in racing jurisdictions such as Hong Kong, anabolic steroids are seen in a very different light by one of the strictest governing bodies in world racing.
In Hong Kong horses can receive anabolic steroids only if the head clinical vet of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the head regulatory vet has seen the horse and recommended a specific dosage of medication.
The horse is then monitored by those vets until such a point that it is considered timely to come off medication after which a programme to race day is set out.
