《中英對照讀新聞》Bulls to be drug tested at Madrid festival馬德里節慶的公牛將接受藥檢

◎羅彥傑

Bulls will be routinely dope tested during Spain’s most prestigious bullfighting festival to ensure their performance in the ring is not being manipulated, organisers have announced.

在西班牙最富盛名的鬥牛節期間,公牛將定期接受藥檢,以確保牠們在鬥牛場中的表現沒有作假,主辦單位已經宣布。

Any bull that behaves "strangely" during the corrida at this month’s Feria de San Isidro in Madrid will be tested for drugs after the fight is over.

在馬德里本月的聖.伊西德羅節,若有任何公牛在鬥牛過程中行徑「怪異」,就會在鬥牛結束後接受藥物檢驗。

Analysis will be carried out on blood or urine samples, or on samples of the animal’s entrails if vets believe their behaviour is suspicious.

如果獸醫認為牠們的行為有可疑之處,將針對血液或尿液樣本進行分析,或對其內臟採樣分析。

Breeders face fines of up to €60,000 if they are discovered to have used banned substances on their bulls.

飼主將面臨高達6萬歐元的罰款,如果他們被發現對自己的公牛使用禁藥。

The two most commonly used drugs are said to be tranquillisers and corticosteroids.

2種最常使用的藥物據說是鎮靜劑與皮質類固醇。

Ricardo Mirat, a vet at Las Ventas bullring in Madrid, said that corticosteroids "give the bull more resistance and can disguise a limp or an injury which allows the animal to pass initial tests".

馬德里凡塔斯鬥牛場的獸醫李卡多.米拉特說,皮質類固醇「會給公牛更多的抵抗力,而且能偽裝成跛行或受傷,使動物通過初步檢查」。
