Hope, it´s not true or a misapprehension! The article contains an incorrect image caption. Sheikh Mohammed is not shown but Mahmood Al Zarooni.

From the article above: "...there is plenty of evidence, though, that he should be made to answer a few questions about it. If he is affronted by this fact, he is not the friend of British racing that we are led to believe."

The first step of Sheikh Mohammed have to be to find out who is behind all the things that going on right there. Only then he can give answers. His avoiding of any comments at the moment is therefore logical and wise as long as he does not have sufficient informations. His reaction is definitely not a sign of anything.

Apart from this, the press release is a debacle of examples and comparisons which devoid meanings in the current case...a little bit trashy.

We don't know who to hold responsible for such an issue.
Now I have to admit I hardly believe Sheikh Mohammed wasn't aware of what is going on..... Which makes me sad to say, because if such information is disclosed it will for sure affect directly or indirectly Sheikh Mohammed's public image.

We don't know who is behind all this .For this reason, it is better to abstain from making judgements that are too hasty.

Fairplay and honesty give mean and value to the Victory and the lurking temptation to cheat is sooner or later sanctioned. I remember reading that , few years ago, Sheikh Hamdan's Horse has failed a doping case and was banned from racing for few months...

However more evidence may also be collected to help shed more light on the whole issue.

I hope the Authorities response assists in clarifying this matter.

Law for doping-free horse racing will be discussed in UAE

The Ministry of Environment will debate a bill meant to ensure doping-free horse racing and promote health, fairness and equality for them in the UAE. The draft law aims at ensuring a harmonised and effective anti-doping programme is set up at the national level with regard to detection, deterrence and prevention of doping in UAE races. The draft law envisages protecting and promoting the horse racing industry and ensuring international sport ethics and standards are met. The law bans all drugs, unless they are licensed for use by the Ministry of Environment and Water or the authorities concerned to treat specific medical conditions such as anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants.

Authorities may also ban offenders from taking part in horse racing for three years, closing the offending sports facility for not more than three years or cancelling the licence of the offending facilities.
