Dr. David McGrath:

It could be applied to stud dogs and brood bitches. The stud dog business is at the core of the industry. It is important for all of us breeding dogs that we have confidence that a dog's performance on the track is real as opposed to enhanced. If all stud dogs had to undergo hair follicle testing before they were licensed to go to stud that would be a real boost to the integrity of that side of the industry. I do not know how anyone could find issue with that. It would be another red flag issue. In my view, if a dog tests positive for stanozolol it should not be allowed to go to stud in this country.
