From what I\'ve read so far, I\'m inclined to believe that the success of Jason Servis (not necessarily Navarro) was more likely due to his use of corticosteroids than SGF-1000.  I also think Servis and Navarro were not alone in abusing this class of drugs.  Mark Casse complained about this with respect to clenbuterol earlier this year:

I also note that Gamine\'s positive in the Oaks was for a corticosteroid.  Baffert did not deny that it was administered, only that it was administered within 14 days before the Oaks.
