Since it happened lots of speculation - most likely cause seems to have been a supplement- Biodyl- given to the horses before they were going to play what was a very important match - that anyway is the view of the polo captain

There is however a more sinister story doing the rounds that suggest it has more to do with some vials of toxins gone missing from an Army base....to my mind the money would still be on biodyl - there seems to be an immediate connection between the horses affected and the injection of the compound
