Five years ago, Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19, leading to the suspension of sports worldwide. This event coincided with the indictment of trainers in the horse racing industry, leading to the passage of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) in the US.

HISA has led to a decrease in racing deaths nationwide, with a focus on improving safety and transparency in the industry. The legislation was a response to the abuse of illegal horse medications and has had a significant impact on the sport.

While the trainers involved in the scandal have faced prison time, the impact of the case on the horse racing industry continues to be felt through the implementation of HISA and ongoing reforms. The legislation aims to improve safety standards and reduce the number of equine deaths in the future.
