AMENDATORY SECTION (Amending WSR 12-07-006, filed 3/9/12, effective 4/9/12)
WAC 260-70-680 Uniform classification guidelines.
This section classifies drugs, medications, and foreign substances. The names, trade names, classifications, and if applicable a reference to the section containing the permitted threshold are listed alphabetically in WAC 260-70-685. The penalties for violation of this section are in WAC 260-84-110.
(1) Class 1
Class 1 drugs are stimulant and depressant drugs that have the highest potential to affect the performance of a horse, and have no generally accepted medical use. Many of these agents are Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Schedule II substances. These include the following drugs and their metabolites: Opiates, opium derivatives, synthetic opioids and psychoactive drugs, amphetamines and amphetamine-like drugs as well as related drugs, including but not limited to apomorphine, nikethamide, mazindol, pemoline, and pentylenetetrazol.
(2) Class 2
Class 2 drugs are drugs/medication/foreign substances that have a high potential to affect the performance of a horse, but less of a potential than class 1 drugs. Class 2 drugs are either not generally accepted as therapeutic agents in racing horses, or are therapeutic agents that have a high potential for abuse.
(3) Class 3
Class 3 drugs are drugs/medication/foreign substances that may or may not have generally accepted medical use in the racing horse, but the pharmacology of which suggests less potential to affect performance than class 2 drugs.
(4) Class 4
Class 4 drugs include therapeutic drugs/medications/foreign substances that would be expected to have less potential to affect the performance of a racing horse than class 3 drugs.
(5) Class 5
Class 5 drugs include those therapeutic medications for which concentration limits have generally been established by racing jurisdictions as well as certain miscellaneous agents ((such as DMSO)) and other medications. Included are specifically agents that have very localized actions only, such as anti-ulcer drugs and certain anti-allergic drugs. The anticoagulant drugs are also included.
(6) Nonclassified substances
Nonclassified substances are considered to have no effect on the physiology of a horse, except to improve nutrition or treat or prevent infections or parasite infestations. These substances normally include antimicrobials, antiparasitic drugs, and nutrients such as vitamins.
(7) Substances denoted with a "*" are medications that are currently being studied at a national level to establish thresholds, currently have an established threshold, or could be considered an environmental contaminate based on the level reported. In the instance of a positive reported for these medications the stewards may use this as mitigating circumstances, taking into account the level reported, when ruling on the violation.

(10)(a) For violations of WAC 260-34-020 (1), (4), or (5), the board of stewards may stay a suspension if the licensee or applicant shows proof of ((participation in a drug rehabilitation or alcohol treatment program approved or certified by the department of social and health services)) an evaluation conducted by a certified substance abuse counselor approved by the stewards, and fulfilling any recommendations indicated in the evaluation. Individuals will only be allowed a stay of a suspension under this subsection once in a five-year period. If during the period of the stay a licensee or applicant violates the provisions of chapter 260-34 WAC, the violation for which the stay of suspension was entered will be considered as a prior violation for penalty purposes. Before being granted a stay of the suspension, the licensee or applicant must also agree to comply with the following conditions during the duration of the treatment program:
(i) Remain in compliance with the rehabilitation and/or treatment program as reported by a certified substance abuse counselor.
(ii) Submit to random drug or alcohol testing at the discretion of the board of stewards or commission investigators.
(iii) Have no violations of chapter 260-34 WAC.
Upon completion of the rehabilitation or treatment program, the licensee or applicant must provide documentation of completion to the board of stewards. Upon making a determination that the licensee or applicant successfully completed the rehabilitation or treatment program, the board of stewards may direct that the final disposition of the violation will be that the licensee or applicant completed a treatment program in lieu of suspension.
(b) If the board of stewards finds that the licensee or applicant failed to comply with the conditions required in (a)(iii) of this subsection, the board of stewards may impose the original suspension. If the failure to comply with the conditions of the stay is a violation of chapter 260-34 WAC, the board of stewards may also hold a ruling conference for that rule violation and impose such penalty as is provided for that violation.
(11) Any licensee or applicant who tests positive (presumptive or confirmatory) for the presence of an illegal controlled substance is prohibited from performing any duties for which a license is required until the licensee does not test positive (presumptive or confirmatory) for the presence of any illegal controlled substance.
(12) Any licensee or applicant who is affected by intoxicating liquor or who has an alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent or higher is prohibited from performing any duties for which a license is required until the licensee is not affected by intoxicating liquor and his/her alcohol concentration is below 0.08 percent.
(13) Any licensee or applicant who has an alcohol concentration of 0.02 percent or higher while on horseback is prohibited from being on horseback until his/her alcohol concentration is below 0.02 percent.

AMENDATORY SECTION (Amending WSR 08-05-086, filed 2/15/08, effective 3/17/08)
WAC 260-84-090 Equine medication and prohibited substancesPenaltiesGuidelines.
(1) Upon a finding of a violation of the medication and prohibited substances rules in chapter 260-70 WAC, the stewards will consider the classification level of the medication, drug or substance prior to imposing a penalty. The stewards will also consult with an official veterinarian to determine the nature and seriousness of the laboratory finding or the medication violation and whether the violation was a result of the administration of a therapeutic medication as documented in a veterinarian's report received per WAC 260-70-540.
(2) Upon the finding of the laboratory of a positive test, the equine medical director shall prepare, for presentation at the steward's conference, testimony to assist the stewards in determining the seriousness of the violation. Industry experts should be contacted to assist with the research as to whether the reported violation is of a nature that may have affected the outcome of the race. The finding of the equine medical director may be considered as mitigating or aggravating circumstances.
Based upon the finding of fact, if the quantification of a therapeutic substance is considered by the stewards and equine medical director to be of no significance, the trainer and veterinarian of record will be contacted for administration details, but a formal hearing notice may be waived.
(3) A lesser penalty than that established in WAC 260-84-110 may be imposed if a majority of the stewards determine that mitigating circumstances warrant a lesser penalty. If a majority of the stewards determine a greater penalty is appropriate or that a penalty in excess of the authority granted them is appropriate, they may impose the maximum penalty authorized and refer the matter to the commission with specific recommendations for further action. In determining if there are mitigating circumstances surrounding a medication violation for substances referred to in chapter 260-70 WAC, at least the following will be considered:
(a) The past record of the trainer and/or veterinarian in medication/drug cases;
(b) The potential of the medication/drug to influence a horse's racing performance;
(c) The availability of the medication/drug;
(d) Whether there is reason to believe the responsible party knew of the administration of the medication/drug used;
(e) The steps taken by the trainer to safeguard the horse;
(f) The probability of environmental contamination or inadvertent exposure due to human drug use;
(g) The purse of the race;
(h) Whether the medication found was one for which the horse was receiving a treatment as determined by the veterinarian report(s);
(i) Whether there was any suspicious betting pattern in the race; ((and))
(j) Whether the presence of the medication/drug in urine was confirmed in serum or plasma; and
(k) The level of the overage and its probability to affect the outcome of the race.
(((3))) (4) If a majority of the stewards determine a penalty greater than established in these rules is appropriate, they may impose the maximum penalty authorized and refer the matter to the commission with specific recommendations for further action.
(((4))) (5) If the penalty is not otherwise established for a violation of chapter 260-70 WAC, the penalty will be determined by the board of stewards.
(6) Equine medication violations from Washington and all recognized racing jurisdictions will be considered when assessing penalties.
