I wasn't a flat racing fan back then so really don't know anything about it.
Google tells me:
Deep Impact is considered one of Japan's best-ever race horses, but tested positive for Ipratropium - an inhaled medication that aids breathing.
A statement from France Gallop, who organise racing in Paris said the substance had been used as a veterinary treatment.
After the positive test was announced the trainer said he was "very surprised".
The owner and the trainer of Deep Impact will not appeal against the decision. Deep Impact will now retire to become a breeding horse.
Was there any more to the story?

Don't know anything about the banned substance!! But Deep Impact was trading at 1/10 on the pari-mutuel shortly before the off. Everyone in Japan backed him.
To be honest I didn't know anything about it either until earlier when I was looking up previous winners on the RP.

With leader early, settled disputing 2nd, 3rd straight, led 2f out, soon under pressure, headed 1f out, no extra final 100yds, finished 3rd, disqualified - banned substance found in sample
Obviously have heard the stories about him being backed as if defeat was out of the question though!
