THE Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) yesterday said it had launched an internal review of its drug testing procedures following questions posed last week by the Irish Examiner regarding the “loss of blood samples” from a horse.

THE director of the British laboratory from where the Waterford Crystal B urine sample was stolen said the package was handed to someone without official identification.

A SENIOR veterinary pharmacologist claimed yesterday the drugs found in Waterford Crystal’s A sample would most likely be administered shortly before competition.
