a) Except as provided in Sections 603.60 and 603.70, no horse participating in a race, or entered to participate in a race and not scratched by the day of the race, shall carry in its body any foreign substance.

b) No horse participating in a race shall carry in its body any pharmaceutical aids. Although pharmaceutical aids do not contain any pharmacodynamic and/or chemotherapeutic agents, these foreign substances interfere with testing and may mask the presence of other foreign substances.

2) If the presence of the pharmaceutical aid occurred due to the negligence of the veterinarian attending the horse, the veterinarian shall be penalized in addition to, or instead of, the trainer.

c) Any person who knowingly enters a horse in a race that carries in its body during the race any foreign substance, other than those substances listed in Sections 603.60 and 603.70 shall have his/her license suspended or revoked, and may also be subjected to a civil penalty.
