The overuse of medications in Thoroughbred horseracing — both legal and illegal — is widespread in the U.S., and racehorses are paying for this every day with their lives. Unlike most other sports, there is no national regulatory body that oversees the horseracing industry. Without one overarching regulating body, racehorse owners and trainers who are barred from racing in one jurisdiction can simply shop for a more permissive venue.

The Thoroughbred Horseracing Integrity Act would charge the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency with developing an independent anti-doping authority for Thoroughbred horse races. The authority would create universal rules on the use of performance-enhancing and pain-masking drugs, and develop and enforce sanctions against violators. Any racetrack that wanted to offer "simulcast" wagering would be required to participate.
