I think this is potentially"Big"! Mabe Darley will boycott the BC - yes - I think the BC needs to retire itself because it is not what it was originally.
Darley Exec Exits Breeders’ Cup Board Over Lasix Reversal
The following statement was received from Oliver Tait, Darley’s Chief Operating Officer, regarding the Breeders’ Cup Lasix policy:
The Breeders’ Cup has reversed its previously agreed and stated position that the 2013 Breeders’ Cup World Championships will be conducted without Lasix. As a consequence, I have resigned from the Board of the Breeders’ Cup.
Sheikh Mohammed, Darley’s Principal, has been one of the biggest players in American racing for the last 30 years. His vision for the sport in America is a future where racing is enjoyed and admired by a new generation of participants and enthusiasts. A true world championship, to be enjoyed and admired by all, needs to be medication free.
Progress is being made in all sports around the world in relation to drugs. This is not progress.
The Breeders’ Cup is a leader of this sport and I was extremely proud to serve on its Board. Having rightly and boldly chosen to lead the way on the issue of drugs in racing in 2011, it has now stepped back in time. I hope that in the near future it can lead again.
