With the horse racing world in the midst of another doping scandal, the winner of the Kentucky Derby isn’t the only result in question.
Medina Spirit’s Kentucky Derby victory is up in the air after it was reported last Sunday that the horse had nearly double the legal limits of betamethasone — a banned performance-enhancing substance. The horse’s trainer, Bob Baffert, initially denied any wrongdoing but released a statement Tuesday blaming the positive test on an anti-fungal ointment Otomax used on Medina Spirit to treat dermatitis.
