Veterinary Instructions regarding Control of Drug Administration
In case a prohibited drug or medication is administered, the horse
concerned cannot be declared for races for a period of 9 days from
the day the drug or medication concerned is administered. Unless
approved by the veterinary officer, no treatment can be given to
a horse on and after the date of declaration. Prior consultation
with the veterinary officer is necessary in case a drug or medication
is administered to a horse scheduled to run, or feed additives other
than those provided by JRA are to be given. No one except the veterinary
officers of JRA or those who have received the approval from JRA,
can diagnose or give treatment to a horse.
Medication and Drugs Brought into Japan
The JRA prohibits the use on the JRA premises of medication and
drugs brought into Japan by the connections of the horse. This includes
soap, shampoo, skin protection cream and other substances used for
the horse's care. Therefore, such medication and drugs must be kept
in JRA's custody until after the race.
A variety of supplies such as hot and cold compress medications
(poultice), massage medication, shampoo, and nutrient additives,
that are comparatively in wide use in foreign countries, are available.
The list of these supplies is available at each JRA Representative
office.
Physico-Chemical Test
Physico-chemical tests are conducted on horses who finish first
through third in the race and any horses designated by the stewards
of the meeting under the Rules of Racing of the JRA. The horses
concerned must submit to sample collecting after the race. Where
the presence of prohibited drugs or medication is detected, it is
considered as a violation of the drugs and medication control regulations
and the horse concerned will be suspended from running in a race
for a fixed period and the connections of the horse concerned are
not entitled to receive any commendations, prizes, or prize money.
