Was Roger Charlton's Black caviar remark tongue in cheek?

What this?

Was Black Caviar treated with anabolic steroids during her career and will any of the Australian horses due to come to Royal Ascot be tested

I can't see a tongue or a cheek.

Mind you, surely our trainers should know that aussie horse can use steroids? If a UK horse is being primed solely for an Aussie campaign are they allowed to use them over here? I presume Aussie horses that come over here would have to declare if they have used them but I might be wrong!

*aimed not primed.

We are all a bit naive , even our globe-trotting horses globe-trot for a reason, time for a few people to come clean to the wider public.
