Corticosteroids - Horse Racing (gambling) and iduronic acid (medicine)


Corticosteroids - Horse Racing (gambling)


Hormones that are either naturally produced by the adrenal gland or man-made. They function as anti-inflammatory hormones or hormones that regulate the chemical stability (homeostasis) of the body. One common misconception is that a horse which has received corticosteroids experiences an increase in its natural abilities and therefore has an unfair advantage. At the present time, there is no scientific evidence to support such a perception. See AAEP position on anabolic and corticosteroids in veterinary supplement.
