Champion goat fails a drug test

The champion goat at the Colorado State Fair has lost his title after failing a drug test. The goat, named Theodore, was declared Grand Champion for his size—83 pounds—and general condition. Subsequent urine tests, however, revealed the presence of ractopamine, a banned additive used in hogs. “It’s just shocked the heck out of me,” said owner Susan Weinroth, who suggested that “sabotage” was to blame.
