onI had no idea bullfighting had such a doping problem:
Bulls will face tighter controls for steroids and other drugs at bullfights held next month as part of Madrid’s San Isidro festival, daily Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported Monday, citing organisers.Any bull that behaves in a suspect way in the ring during the festival, which will begin on May 11 and last for over a month, will undergo anti-doping testing after the bullfight, the newspaper said.
Bulls were tested at the festival before, but this time around testing will be quicker and more systematic since it will be carried out for the first time at a laboratory in Madrid, it said.
If an animal is found to have taken a banned substance, the rancher who supplied the bull can face a fine of up to 60,000 euros (95,000 dollars).

unbelievable. "Behaves in a suspect way"? How do they expect a bull to behave when it is about to be tortured and killed for fun?
"Stop breathing on my tail!"
one of the best Bugs cartoons.
let's hope the matador takes a horn in the balls.
