Anabolic steroid use not widespread in UK - BHA

Quote:
The British Horseracing Authority says anabolic steroid use on racehorses in the United Kingdom is not widespread.
Newmarket trainer Gerard Butler faces a BHA inquiry after admitting his horses received banned steroids.
Last week, Godolphin trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni was given an eight-year suspension for doping offences.
But the BHA insisted: "On the evidence of our robust testing programme, there is no evidence to suggest the use of steroids is widespread within Britain."
The revelations that a second Newmarket trainer had admitted giving his horses banned steroids has prompted fears of a widening scandal, but the BHA is playing those concerns down.
