Citaat:Update - Statement von Mark Shaffer:
Public Relations Statement from Mark Shaffer Show Horses Regarding positive test for "Surpass" at the AQHA European Championships 2012.
On Oct 31st I was notified by email that Madame Machine had a positive test from the 14 - 18 Youth Western Pleasure for the Topical Linament "Surpass". This ointment was applied 10 days prior to the finals which means it would have had no affect on Madame Machine's performance. The reason the surpass was applied was to help Madame Machine recover from the long hauling trip from Austria. The standard allowance for Surpass in America is 12 hours out of testing. Madame Machine has been disqualified from her Gold Medal Championships in Youth Western Pleasure and Jr Western Pleasure, however, it should be noted that she did NOT test positive for the Jr Western Pleasure finals.
If there are any questions or concerns about this matter, please feel free to contact me via email
Thank you
Mark Shaffer
