If Florida’s racing greyhounds seem to have a little extra pep in their step this time next year, you better know it’s the better blow.

Currently making the rounds of Florida’s political circles is a draft of greyhound racing industry-sponsored legislation that would permit dogs at Florida tracks to test positive for minor amounts of prohibited substances, including steroids and cocaine, provided these substances aren’t “in excess of environmental contaminate levels.”

The precise amount of Peruvian marching powder that would be permissible in dogs isn’t specified, but Florida Greyhound Association lobbyist Jack Cory told Florida Politics that “you can get a nanogram of cocaine from touching a 20-dollar bill” and that one-billionth of a gram of Charlie “is not going to affect any dog or any person and that is what we are trying to clarify.”

The concept of Florida’s dog trainers and owners willfully distributing eight-balls to their four-legged charges ahead of races isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds. Cocaine and other stimulants have been found in racing dogs at tracks around the globe, suggesting that, if Nancy Reagan had been a dog trainer, her slogan would have been ‘just say go’.
