Horses competing in the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ can be tested for FEI Equine Prohibited Substances through the Pre-Arrival Testing service (PAT). Testing will be carried out by LCH, the FEI Reference Laboratory in France. The PAT service is offered on a voluntary basis through the National Federations and for a limited time only before the scheduled arrival dates of horses at the Games’ stables.

 

The PAT service is available exclusively to the equine athletes listed by the National Federation and entered in the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 - as of 21 July - the day after the closing date for Nominated Entries. The LCH - Laboratoire des Courses Hippiques providing the PAT service, is the same laboratory conducting the A sample analysis during the Games.

 

The PAT service offers either a full screening programme or the standard Elective Testing programme for up to four nominated Controlled Medication Substances. If the full screening programme is selected, the analysis will be available up to 14 days before the scheduled arrival times of horses at the Games' stables. Alternatively, the Elective Testing programme will be available up to five working days before the scheduled arrival times of horses at the Games' stables.

 

The nominated substances for Elective Testing must be selected from the 2014 FEI Prohibited Substances List within the category of Controlled Medication.
