Regulated substance testing in animal sports
HFL Sport Science – formerly the Horseracing
Forensic Laboratory – built its world class reputation upon the
science and technology of doping control in horseracing, where we
have over 45 years’ continuous experience. Add nearly 20 years'
involvement with greyhound racing and you will see that HFL has
contributed significantly to animal welfare and the integrity of
animal sports with research that has helped to develop many
international regulations and drug testing policies.
The sport which established and maintained our
reputation for scientific excellence since 1963 is still a major
part of our work – along with many other equestrian disciplines.
Accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 and complying with the ILAC G7
Criteria, we carry out legally compliant screening and confirmatory
testing for a comprehensive range of prohibited substances as well
as providing logistical support for sample collection. A regular
programme of research projects ensures that operational testing
keeps up with the latest cheating and welfare issues - publishing
regularly within peer-reviewed journals.
Combining with the equine
experience, we support the greyhound racing industry in
legally compliant screening for a comprehensive range of prohibited
substances that protect the integrity of the sport and the welfare
of the greyhounds.
