This Is Synergy

Six racehorses from a Burlington County farm have tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug under the state’s newly expanded drug-testing rules, the state attorney general’s office announced today.

The horses were from Winner’s International Farm in Chesterfield, Burlington County. They tested positive for erythropoietin, which can enhance a horse’s oxygen consumption during races, but can also lead to heart attack or stroke during intense exercise.

Horses, drugs… really, this has it all. I like how the side-effects of the drugs are listed. Oh, no, you might hurt the horsies while you race them around and around and possibly to their deaths!
