Trainer Bob Baffert insists there was no cheating, but after the competition, they found betamethasone in the horse's urine, a medicine to numb pain and prevent swelling. It happened before, in 1968. "Equestrian sport has a problem. But Bob Baffert is not the problem.” Baffert insists that he and his team did not cheat. The New York Times will investigate the matter further, because there is a major doping problem in the US. There are often experiments with drugs and doping on horses. The US has already taken extra measures to control doping in horses, for example, a new law will come into effect at the beginning of July next year to keep an eye on things.
