Officials with the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission (IRGC) and Iowa DCI (Division of Criminal Investigation) are continuing to investigate positive performance-enhancing drug tests at Bluffs Run Greyhound Park in Council Bluffs. According to the Daily NonPareil, in late September, two dogs tested positive for ractopamine, a drug believed to increase muscle mass, open airways for oxygenation and decrease fat. Officials have not determined how the dogs ingested the drug.
Brian Ohorilko, administrator with the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, said the two greyhounds that tested positive for ractopamine, following a race.The positive test at Bluffs Run followed failed tests by 12 greyhounds at Iowa Greyhound Park in Dubuque. The Iowa State University diagnostic lab found the drug in dry food given to the dogs in eastern Iowa.
Officials in the greyhound community said that would be the case in Council Bluffs as well, but tests on dry food used at Bluffs Run came back negative. After the positive tests, both Council Bluffs dogs were taken out of competition while veterinarians determined the adverse affects of the drugs. Ohorilko said the drug – normally administered to livestock, including hogs and cattle – is known to cause heart tissue damage to greyhounds.
The administrator said both dogs were found to be healthy and have returned to racing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee. The star running back hurt his knee in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to Chicago. An MRI on Monday confirmed the tear. Earlier Monday, coach Andy Reid said “the worst case is the ACL is torn. That’s probably the direction it’s heading.”
Charles was making a cut deep in Bears territory on Sunday when his right knee buckled at a gruesome angle. The four-time Pro Bowl selection needed help from a trainer and linebacker Justin Houston to get off the field, never once putting any weight on the leg. Charles tore the ACL in his other knee four years ago, missing most of the season.
CHICAGO (AP) — Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler each hit two-run drives and the Chicago Cubs connected for a postseason franchise-record six homers in an 8-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of the NL Division Series on Monday.
Kyle Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo, Starlin Castro and Dexter Fowler also homered, powering Jake Arrieta to another win despite a rare off night for the bearded ace. The Cubs’ previous record for most homers in a playoff game was five in the opener of the 1984 NL Championship Series against San Diego.
A third straight win for Chicago on Tuesday afternoon, and the once woebegone franchise will advance to the NLCS for the first time in 12 years. The Cardinals, who led the majors with 100 wins this season, have won at least one playoff series in each of the last four years. Jason Heyward and Stephen Piscotty homered for St. Louis, and Jhonny Peralta had a run-scoring double.
Pre-game coverage from Wrigley Field begins at 2:42-p.m. today (Tuesday), on KJAN, with the first pitch at 3:37-p.m.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — A somewhat promising start has given way to a troubling reality now that Iowa State has started Big 12 play. If that sounds familiar to Cyclones fans, it should. Iowa State is in the midst of yet another season-defining stretch.
The Cyclones (2-3, 1-1 Big 12), fresh off letting Texas Tech gain a school-record 776 yards in a 66-31 road loss last weekend, host No. 3 TCU (6-0, 3-0) on Saturday before a road trip to No. 2 Baylor.
It will take arguably the biggest win in school history just to earn a split over the next two weeks — and Iowa State would still be below .500 with five games to go.
