This means that formestane cannot be legally supplied for use in humans in Australia.” In statements released in September last year, both the Kavanagh and Yargi stables pointed to contamination as a possible source of their positive swabs.“Since the irregularity, she has been tested multiple times and each time has returned a negative swab,” the Kavanaghs wrote.
