What is a Specified Substance?

Prohibited Substances that are identified as Specified Substances should not in any way be considered less important or less dangerous than other Prohibited Substances.

Rather, they are simply substances which are more likely to have been ingested by Horses for a purpose other than the enhancement of sport performance, for example, through a contaminated food substance.

A Specified Substance can be either a Controlled Medication or a Banned Substance.

For example, caffeine is a Controlled Medication (Specified Substance).

Synephrine is a Banned Substance (Specified Substance).
