The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities has appointed Dr. Terry Wan as chairman of its Advisory Council on Equine Prohibited Substances and Practices, and Dr. Ludovic Bailly-Chouriberry as vice president. Wan is chief advisor of Doping Control for the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and Bailly-Chouriberry is the director of Laboratoire des Courses Hippiques.

“Ensuring the quality and fairness of racing in the interest of all industry stakeholders is the most critical mission of the IFHA,” said IFHA Chairman Louis Romanet. “Our Advisory Council is the peak body to advise racing authorities on best governance for doping control, to provide recommendations on benchmarks for testing and standards of research, and to promote ways of attaining international uniformity in these areas.”

“We are extremely fortunate to now have two of the foremost leaders in the research of equine prohibited substances to guide the Advisory Council. Dr. Terry Wan and Dr. Ludovic Bailly-Chouriberry have served on this group for many years, both being directors of two of the most cutting-edge analytical laboratories in the world, with Dr. Wan only recently retiring from that role. Both the Hong Kong Jockey Club Racing Laboratory and the Laboratoire des Courses Hippiques are among the five analytical laboratories that were appointed as IFHA Reference Laboratories in 2017, a testament to their scale of operations, resourcing, research activity and capability to detect the use of prohibited substances, including the major doping agents.”
