Drug/Alcohol Testing

[Guest_]

Does anyone know (or point me in the right direction of finding out) the level of drug and alcohol testing of jockeys in the UK? What percentage of meetings are done through out the year...that sort of thing.

Thanks in advance.

Testing is carried out by Mediscreen, maybe they can help you?
