Racing and university officials learned the University of Kentucky equine testing lab director lied multiple times and faked test results, including on samples suspected in doping cases.

Scott Stanley, former director of the lab, reported a test result to a client when the lab had not conducted the tests and “did not follow appropriate business practices,” UK said.

Ben Mosier, HIWU executive director, said at Tuesday’s news conference that the organization determined the UK lab misrepresented its abilities to test for substances including EPO and cobalt. No EPO testing was being done at all, he said, and cobalt testing was being done incorrectly. Both are banned blood doping agents.
