THE Harness Racing New South Wales Integrity Department reminds all industry participants of the notice provided by HRNSW on June 25, 2018, that products containing altrenogest may contain levels of trenbolone and trendione, which are banned substances with extended detection times.
Further work is still being undertaken to clarify the situation.
The HRNSW Integrity Department will provide a further update once any additional information becomes available.
Until further notice, trainers and veterinarians are advised NOT TO USE PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN ALTRENOGEST.
If anyone requires further information please contact HRNSW Integrity Department on (02) 9722 6600.
