Veterinary Medicines and Competition Animals: The Question of Medication Versus Doping Control

Abstract: In racing and other equine sports, it is possible to increase artificially both the physical capability and the presence of a competitive instinct, using drugs, such as anabolic steroids and agents stimulating the central nervous system. The word doping describes this illegitimate use of drugs and the primary motivation of an equine anti-doping policy is to prevent the use of these substances. However, an anti-doping policy must not impede the use of legitimate veterinary medications and most regulatory bodies… Show more

“…Rules for controlling medication of animals in competitions are established based on the possibility to increase artificially both the physical capability and the presence of a competitive instinct, using drugs. However, an antidoping policy must not impede the use of legitimate therapeutic medications and most regulatory bodies in the world now distinguish the control of illicit substances (doping control) from the control of therapeutic substances (medication control; Toutain, ). This study indicates that the detection of celecoxib and its carboxy metabolite is key elements for celecoxib doping investigation in horses, due to prolonged elimination profile and considerably high detection concentration in urine and faeces.…”

“…Además, existe una variabilidad individual entres los caballos en relación a la farmacocinética de las drogas y la disposición de la droga en el plasma y la orina. Esta variabilidad se debe a factores tales como la raza, edad, sexo y peso (Toutain, 2010). Los tiempos de detección publicados proporcionan una información fidedigna y clara, aun así, existen limitantes ya que los estudios farmacocinéticos para evaluar los tiempos de detección de una sustancia han sido realizados en laboratorios bajo condiciones de reposo.…”

“…Según Toutain (2010), en la actualidad la mayoría de los controles se realizan utilizando orina, por otra parte, Wong & Wang (2014) afirman que dentro de los estudios deberían considerar el uso de la sangre ya que el uso de plasma como matriz para el control de la medicación es más eficaz en relación a la farmacocinética del medicamento. Este tipo de muestra es importante, ya que las concentraciones plasmáticas del medicamento sin metabolizarse son más altas.…”

“…Regulations in racing and other equine sports extend to the administration of therapeutic drugs and to drug-testing (Toutain, 2010), so that the responsibilities of veterinarians are clearly defined, and decisions about what constitutes ethical behaviour are consequently relatively simple to make. However, these responsibilities may be less well defined at low-level competitions.…”
