The goal of this study was to describe the development of equine drug testing in horses in Switzerland. This was achieved through evaluation of a film made by the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the University of Basel entitled 'Doping von Rennpferden' [Doping of Race Horses], toxicological detection, 1962', the analysis of doping test results of the Swiss Equestrian Federation and by interviewing individuals of various professions who were involved in equine drug testing at the time. The study compares early and modern methods of drug testing and highlights the changes in the attitude of equestrian athletes, horse owners and the general public toward doping in equestrian sports. The high sensitivity of modern analytical methods allows the detection of drugs at levels considerably below therapeutic concentrations. This has resulted in a shift from zero tolerance for Controlled Medication Substances to the establishment of sub-therapeutic threshold concentrations. The lists of performance-enhancing drugs used in doping are updated continually. It became clear from this work that in the early 1960s, Switzerland played a leadership role in anti-doping in equestrian sports, and that the efforts to keep the sport free of performance-enhancing drugs remain exemplary.
本研究的目的是描述瑞士马匹药物检测的发展情况。这是通过评估巴塞尔大学法医学研究所制作的一部名为《赛马的兴奋剂问题》（1962年的《赛马兴奋剂检测》）的影片、分析瑞士马术联合会的兴奋剂检测结果以及采访当时参与马匹药物检测的各行业人士来实现的。该研究比较了早期和现代的药物检测方法，并突出了马术运动员、马主和公众对马术运动中使用兴奋剂态度的变化。现代分析方法的高灵敏度使得能够检测到远低于治疗浓度水平的药物。这导致了从对受控药物物质零容忍到建立亚治疗阈值浓度的转变。用于兴奋剂检测的提高成绩药物清单在不断更新。从这项工作中可以清楚地看出，在20世纪60年代初，瑞士在马术运动的反兴奋剂方面发挥了领导作用，并且在保持这项运动无提高成绩药物方面所做的努力堪称典范。
