| dc.description.abstract | Doping has always been a part of equine sports, which presents a number of challenges
regarding the protection of the horse from an animal welfare point of view. This issue goes
beyond the health effects of doping agents on horses, as the consequences of such practices
can be of importance regarding the image of the sport, the financial investments made, the
protection of the rider’s health and the reputation of the horse track. That is why governments
are trying to put in place laws to prevent doping from occurring, and developing more and
more efficient methods of analysis to control for doping. | en_US |
