    I bet if they had did the same over severe testing on the eventers that jumped on the third day they would have got equally spectacular results.
    But of course if they did that they would have given their game away.

    You know what I mean togster, they tested specifically for a substance that they hadn't ever tested for before. If they had done the eventers first the showjumpers would have copped it and not used the stuff.

    It is widely published that they targetted a banned substance. I see your point but it holds no water. The fact is they were using a banned substance. Whether or not they tested previously or not is irrelevant. Are we sure they didn't test the eventers too?

    Well I'm not sure togster but its a fair guess that they didn't. Anyway whats done is done and you are correct, the substance was banned so there isn't much point in talking much more about it.
