Stanley Out as UK Lab Director; Testing goes somewhere else

Dr. Scott Stanley, who has headed the Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of Kentucky since 2019, was “removed” from his position. He said on March 4 that his last day was last week.

Stanley was appointed laboratory director in 2018 after almost 30 years in Kenneth L. Maddy Equine Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of California-Davis. He said he could not discuss the reasons for his departure from the laboratory and quoted a confidentiality agreement with the Horninging integrity and security authority and the Horseracing integrity and social unit. The laboratory treated the Hiwu tests.

In an explanation of Bloodhorse, Hisa and Hiwu said that they had been informed by the university that Stanley was “removed from his position” as director of the British laboratory. A representative of HISA/HIWU also said that all agreements between Labor, Hisa and Hiwu contain a confidentiality component, the decision, Dr. To remove Stanley from his position, could not be removed with this confidentiality agreement and was hit by the University of Kentucky.

Hiwu heard to send the rehearsals to the laboratory from February 16, and rehearsals that “had been sent there before, are now dependent on industrial laboratories,” said the agencies. In their explanation, Hisa and Hiwu added that analyzes of samples that were sent to the laboratory as part of the anti-doping and medication control program “have been completed and all of these results were reported Hiwu”.

In addition to the industrial laboratories mentioned above, Hiwu uses four other laboratories to test: Analytical toxicology laboratory, which is part of the Ministry of Agriculture in Ohio; The forensic toxicological laboratory of the Animal at the University of Illinois-Chicago; The Maddy Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory; And the Pennsylvania Equine Toxicology and Research Laboratory.

Register

Stanley said that the Kentucky laboratory would continue his mission without him. When asked whether the laboratory would resume the rehearsals of the talent, as soon as a fresh director was present, HISA and Hiwu said “to constantly evaluate the status of the British laboratory and to participate accordingly on the basis of the best interests of the ADMC”.

<p>The highly developed technology of the University of Kentucky Lab enables her to test urine, blood and hair samples and to identify blood doping, microdosing of performance-enhancing substances and selective androgen receptor modulators. The laboratory can originally introduced the United States Equestrian Federation as an internal laboratory and can develop tests for fresh substances within a few hours. It can also return to previous test results to determine whether the problematic substance was used before it was identified.</p>
<p>In 2020, the Kentucky Commonwealth dedicated the budget of 1.5 million US dollars of the Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council for the laboratory, which is under the area of ​​responsibility of the British College of Agriculture. In 2019, the laboratory received a commitment of 1.3 million US dollars from Keeland Association.</p>
<p>Stanley will stay in the UK, where he received his doctorate. He will concentrate on research in the Gluck Equine Research Center, where he has a separate research laboratory. The Gluck Center works separately from the laboratory for horse analytical chemistry.</p>
<p>“I will work at the university and concentrate on the biological passport efforts and the proteomic provisions as anti-doping tools for future apply in horses,” he said.</p>
<p>In his own explanation, British spokesman Jay Blanton wrote in an e -mail that Stanley is no longer the director of the laboratory, but he remains part of the faculty. </p>
<p>“This fresh assignment positions it in order to expand the scope of his research program and concentrate on the priorities of the industry. We move quickly to name an interim director in the context of our engagement for the crucial work in the laboratory. During this, we have taken the corresponding steps to refer samples to other equipped laboratories.</p>
<p>With regard to the cooperation with HISA and Hiwu in the future, it is not something that Stanley has excluded.</p>
<p>“I currently have no direct plan to do this, but that's certainly a possibility,” he said.</p>
