Your Steroid Resource

The Arizona Department of Racing is investigating claims that trainers at Tucson Greyhound Park have been injecting racing dogs with steroids.

Meanwhile, the track’s management has questioned the timing of the complaint filed by Susan Via, who organized a dog protection initiative for the November ballot in South Tucson.

Steroids are used to keep female dogs from going into heat.

Only veterinarians are supposed to inject steroids into the dogs, but Via says she believes trainers have been supplying the steroids to all the dogs, male and female.

Via says that’s not only illegal, but it would also compromise the integrity of the sport.

The complaint was not filed against Tucson Greyhound Park, which neither owns the dogs nor is responsible for their care.

But the management there believes it is designed to draw negative attention to track at a time when it is facing the ballot initiative.
