Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit faces possible disqualification from the world-famous race after allegedly failing a dope test that may have been caused by an anti-fungal cream. Trainer Bob Baffert told a press conference on Sunday (9 May) that the three-year-old colt (Protonico x Brilliant Speed) had tested positive for 21 picograms of betamethasone, and repeatedly denied the horse had ever been given the drug. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, used for the treatment of dermatological, rheumatic and allergic diseases, and is not permitted to be in a horse’s system on racedays.
