Just while I've been getting info on the Canine Influenza I've come across this article regarding Theobromine contamination that may be relevant to some racers.

NGRC Theobromine Contamination

Yeah knew about this one - about the beginning of October 07...defra and the HFL made the NNWRF fully aware of it , we were advised from both because of our drug testing program ...

There was a batch of a certain complete dog food contaminated there were serial numbers given out of the batch of food it concerned

Yeah sorry lol

There is a greyhound site i use , where the trainer did fail one of the 1st tests and NGRC and vet went through his premise to find the out break ... which lead to the x dog food , as a result to so many bags been tested and serial numbers of batch found

Think it reiterates why having an acceptable range of levels is so important in drug screening policies and why zero tolerance just didn't work.
