The AGCO Equine Drug Unit's preliminary investigation has revealed a potential source: a product known as ZEV (Lot#190104 Exp:01-2022), an oral product used for the treatment of respiratory conditions – has tested positive for capsaicin and related compounds.

It should be noted that capsaicin is not included in the list of active ingredients  for ZEV.

Trainers and owners are advised to always use caution with all products administered to a horse. Not all ingredients which could result in positive tests may be listed on a product, and ZEV may not be the only source of a positive test.
