The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission has reached an agreement with horse trainer and owner Otabek Umarov for a five-year suspension and $5,000 fine following his refusal to comply with equine drug testing regulations. On April 30, 2016, Umarov prevented Commission personnel from collecting an out-of-competition sample from his horse, Looks to Spare, at Churchill Downs. State Regulations permit the Commission to request a blood or urine sample from any horse eligible to race in Kentucky to screen for banned blood-doping agents. Umarov will be prohibited from training or participating in horse racing in Kentucky for the duration of his suspension.
