Subpart 1.
Prima facie evidence.
A finding by a chemist of any positive test or overage in the test sample of a horse taken after a race or official timed workout shall be considered prima facie evidence that the medication or metabolite, androgenic anabolic steroid, substance foreign to the natural horse, or endogenous, dietary, or environmental substance, NSAID, or furosemide was administered to the horse prior to the race or official timed workout and carried in the body of the horse while participating in the race or official timed workout. A horse racing on furosemide must show a detectable concentration of the drug or metabolites in the post-race serum or plasma sample. A finding by a chemist of any venom or blood doping agent in the test sample of a horse shall be considered prima facie evidence that the venom or blood doping agent was administered to the horse prior to the race or official timed workout and carried in the body of the horse while participating in a race or official timed workout. A finding by a chemist of a level of TCO2 greater than 37 millimoles per liter of blood in the test sample of a horse shall be considered prima facie evidence that an alkalinizing agent was administered to the horse prior to the race or official timed workout after which the test sample was taken.
Subp. 2.
Distributed purse money.
The fact that purse money has been distributed prior to the issuance of the chemist's report shall not be deemed a finding that no medication or metabolites, androgenic anabolic steroids, substance foreign to the natural horse, or endogenous, dietary, or environmental substances, NSAIDs or furosemide exceeding allowable levels was administered to the horse earning such purse money in violation of this chapter.
