Not performance-enhancing apparently, so will it be recreational drugs?  Is this a common thing with jockeys?

If it helps keep their weight down, then isn't it performance enhancing?

Yes, I'd guess so. How's your performance?

As you can see from my weight, I never use drugs. My performance is therefore below average. And that's me bigging myself up.

I could have sworn that on the news when I heard it first they said it was coke, but then when McCririck was on they said it wasn't announced what it was.

I don't think it's been offically announced as coke but I wouldn't mind getting on at evens.
