Madrid's Global Champions Tour: A Look Behind the Scenes at Horse Anti-Doping

The Global Champions Tour in Madrid is underway, with over 200 horses vying for over one million euros in prize money. But beyond the glamour and competition, there's a rigorous anti-doping program in place. The video shows the process, with veterinary checks and tests on blood, urine, and feces. "A positive test results in immediate disqualification," says Carla Queijo, a veterinarian involved in the process. The tests are similar to those used in human sports, ensuring fair play and the well-being of the athletes (horses). This commitment to integrity underscores the importance of the competition and the dedication to maintaining high standards.
