“The rancher is coy as he describes his work. These cows are "clean" he says, but hypothetically, he adds with a wink, they can all be "dirty" -- thus his request for anonymity. Inside the barn, he opens an empty drawer and a hidden compartment reveals a bag filled with a white powder. "Here's the *******," he says cracking a smile.
The white powder is actually clenbuterol, a potent drug that, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, is often abused by bodybuilders and other athletes for its ability to increase lean muscle mass and reduce body fat. It is illegal for human use in most of the world, including Mexico. However, it is used commonly on farms here, administered to livestock to produce the same physical effects. Some experts say the drug can provide distinct advantages for athletes such as boxers.
"Aside from the fat-burning and muscle-building, [clenbuterol] opens up airways and facilitates breathing, it accelerates the metabolic rate and stimulates the central nervous system, so it helps for a faster reaction time," said Victor Conte, the founder and former president of BALCO, the laboratory at the center of controversy for its role in providing steroids to professional athletes.“
