- Description
In the 'Racing Swab Box' a vet is taking a urine sample from a horse, while the jockey waits outside with his back to the proceedings. In the 'Eventing Swab Box' the vet is taking a sample from the horserider inside the box, while the horse waits patiently outside, his head turned politely away. The cartoon alludes to allegations that had been made in England's Sunday Mirror in June 2000 that Mark Todd, New Zealand's prominent equestrian, had been caught taking cocaine and indulging in unprotected homosexual intercourse. Todd's participation in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney was in jeopardy as the International Olympic Committee's anti-doping code specifically mentions Class A drugs like cocaine.
