Over a two-year period from December 2004 to January 2006, Ron Hornaday, the defending champion of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, received shipments of testosterone and human growth hormone from an anti-aging center that has been linked to drug-related scandals in the NFL and Major League Baseball. The drugs were shipped to Hornaday’s address in Mooresville from the Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center.
Hornaday has acknowledged taking testosterone but he denied using growth hormone that was sent to his home for his wife’s use. Hornaday said he used the testosterone to treat a mysterious medical malady and he did not know that it was a steroid. The drug was part of a hormone replacement therapy that is used by millions of Americans. The sole aim of the testosterone, Ron Hornaday said, was to nurse himself to health after his hormone levels dropped to dangerous lows. His wife Lindy said that Ron never took the drug on track but only at home.
Hornaday, 50, is considered one of the best short-track racers in the sport. NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said that Hornaday had not informed anyone in the league that he was using testosterone. Unlike the NFL and MLB, NASCAR does not do mandatory drug testing but do the testing only when they doubt a driver or crew member is abusing prescription or other performance-enhancing drugs. Steroids and human growth hormone were specifically added to its list this year. ?
The steroidal cream Hornaday received is a favorite of athletes because it is fast-acting and clears the body quickly. He also called the dosage that Hornaday received “an extremely high level.”
