Only gives more credence to the problem of STEROIDS with equine:

A> Either a trainer will have to take months off a yearlings career to wean off steroids and then rebuild the colt/filly back up by traditional exercise after they \"shrink like raisin\'s\" in their barns and dealing with their steroid withdrawal OR

B> Keep the animal ON steroids throughout their careers and hope to NOT GET CAUGHT like Azeri\'s former trainer did last week. Her lame excuse was \"I didn\'t know they were illegal\".

STAY TUNED
