To all trainers
We would like to highlight crucial information from the NHA Laboratory concerning the detection of sub-therapeutic concentrations of anti-inflammatories in both race day and out-of-competition specimens. Our recent screening analysis has revealed a significant increase in the detection of anti-inflammatories, specifically MELOXICAM, FLUNIXIN, AND FLUMETHASONE, over the past few months compared to other times of the year. It is important to note that these levels remain below the thresholds established by both the NHA and IFHA and are therefore not enforceable at this time.
