A split sample test for Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit confirmed that the presence of a prohibited substance was from a topical ointment and not an injection, an attorney for the horse's owner said.
Medina Spirit tested positive for betamethasone, a banned substance, in May and was banned from running in the Belmont Stakes, the third and final leg of the triple crown.
Clark Brewster, an attorney for Zedan Racing, said the testing of the sample was completed by the New York Racing Laboratory and "scientifically confirmed" Medina Spirit was not injected with betamethasone.
The Kentucky commission and the New York lab were not immediately available for comment outside business hours. Medina Spirit trainer Bob Baffert, a seven-times Kentucky Derby winner, was banned by Churchill Downs for two years following the failed drug test.Reporting by Hritika Sharma in Bengaluru; Editing by William MallardSubscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
