WHOA supports federal legislation that appoints the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), an independent, non-profit agency, with the authority to develop and enforce a gold-standard anti-doping program with central authority and oversight for U.S. racing, bringing transparency, uniformity and integrity back to our sport. Make no mistake. USADA is not a federal agency. The proposed legislation does not create a government run federal racing office. It does not involve federal regulation or intervention. It does not require federal funding. It does move us closer to our goal of clean racing. American horse racing needs uniform rules banning performance enhancing drugs to ensure that every horse runs healthy and sound, on his natural ability. No industry group has the power to mandate conformity in the 38 racing jurisdictions in the U.S. USADA would. WHOAs mission promotes a level playing field from state-to-state and in sync with international standards. USADA has led the way in cleaning up drug use in cycling, the Olympic movement, and the UFC……. With their experience and expertise, USADA can do the same for horse racing. Founded in 2012, WHOA is a group of like-minded Owners, Breeders, Trainers, Jockeys, Equine Practitioners, Industry Professionals, Handicappers and Racing Fans who stand against the permissive use of performance enhancing drugs in American horse racing.
