§ 394. Testing
- (a) The Secretary may take specimens for drug testing of saliva, blood, or urine, or all
three, from any animal entered in an animal pulling contest or a competitive event.
If a drug is found in a chemical analysis of the saliva, urine, or blood, it shall
be prima facie evidence that a drug has been administered. A proper chain of evidence
shall be maintained. (b) The Secretary may assess and retain a fee for the taking of a drug test sufficient
to recoup the expense of the test procedure. (c) Failure of an owner or handler to submit an animal for testing on request shall be
treated under this chapter as if the presence of a drug were found in a test performed
on the animal. (d) Failure to provide adequate information or assistance in animal restraint for the
Secretary to obtain an official sample shall be a violation of this section, subject
to the penalty provision of section 397 of this title. (Added 1989, No. 270 (Adj. Sess.), § 2; amended 1993, No. 124 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; 2003, No. 42, § 2, eff. May 27, 2003.)
