ASADA refutes claims it cleared the use of AOD-9604. “AOD-9604 is not approved for human use and logically it couldn’t be considered safe to use,” ASADA CEO Aurora Andruska wrote.

“ASADA reiterates that at no point has it advised any party that AOD-9604 was permitted in sport, and our advice to the sporting community has always been consistent with WADA.”

Godolphin Affair deemed an “isolated occurrence,” says town councilor. “It was an isolated occurrence which has to be set against the huge contribution which Godolphin and Darley make to the town. Darley, on behalf of the Sheikh, gave many hundreds of thousands of pounds last month to the Home of Horse Racing Project in Newmarket, which has enabled it to go ahead and this is a very generous grant indeed. This illustrates the huge commitment of the Sheikh to the town.”
