Thoroughbred Rule 1217 - Uniform Classification Guidelines for Foreign Substances and Recommended Penalties Model Rule

This rule classifies different prohibited drugs according to their seriousness and provides recommended penalties for owners and trainers that have horses that test positive for the presence of a prohibited drug. This rule was drafted by the Association of Racing Commissioners International, Inc., and is used by many other racing jurisdictions in an attempt to have uniform medication rules and punishment for violators. The Arkansas Racing Commission adopted the January 2014 version as a new Racing Commission rule. The 2020 version of the ARCI Guidelines contains new drugs and reclassifies some existing drugs. This proposed amendment merely amends an existing rule by updating the classification of drugs so that the Arkansas Racing Commission has the current ARCI model rule.

Attached is a detailed summary from RCI.
