Florida Puts Ban On Giving Greyhounds Anabolic Steroids

The annual battle over Greyhound racing is underway in the Florida Legislature.  

The House Gaming Committee has approved a ban on the use of anabolic steroids on the dogs.  

Jeff Kottkamp with the Florida Greyhound Association calls it a "back-door way" to kill the Greyhound racing industry.  

But Democratic Representative Carlos Guillermo Smith of Orlando says that's the same excuse dog breeders always use to oppose bills having anything to do with protecting Greyhounds.  

Florida is one of only five states where Greyhounds are still racing.
