RMTC TACTICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM IDENTIFIES SUBSTANCES IN ROBERSON CASE FOR DELAWARE RACING COMMISSION
The RMTC Tactical Research Program was instrumental in the Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission’s recent prosecution of Donald Roberson by working with the HFL Sport Science -Lexington laboratory to identify dichloracetic acid and tadalafil, which is marketed in the U.S. under the trade name Cialis™.
These substances were found during a July 13, 2013 search of Donald Roberson’s barn by the Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission that uncovered pre-loaded syringes with hypodermic needles attached and a large quantity of injectable substances. The injectable substances were compounded products labeled as GTO Accelerator and SK360. Samples of these two compounded substances were sent to the HFL Sport Science - Lexington laboratory as part of the RMTC’s Tactical Research Program.
Roberson received a two-year suspension and $2,500 fine – the maximum penalty that the stewards could impose. The Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission upheld the stewards ruling on October 16, 2013.
