				official sample at the primary laboratory in order to avoid delays in testing
				that result in lower total carbon dioxide (TCO2) values
				due to sample degradation. The trainer shall be responsible for the cost of
				split sample testing. The trainer or designee shall make arrangements for
				payment prior to or at the time of sampling. The split sample shall be sent to
				the commission primary laboratory as a separate blind sample. No other split

(1) has been tested by the commission at
				least twice in the past sixty (60) days; and
(2) has been found to have levels beneath the
				levels established in section 2 of this rule.
The prior results shall constitute a finding that excessive

(b) If a test sample from a horse contains
				levels of substance equal to or in excess of the levels in section 2 of this
				rule, the owner or trainer of that horse contending that such levels are
				physiologically normal for that specific horse may request the horse be held in
				approved quarantine on the grounds of the association. Such quarantine shall be
				in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the commission and shall
				be for a period determined by the executive director or the judges, but not
				greater than five (5) days, and is at the sole expense of the owner or trainer
				requesting the quarantine. Quarantine security shall be provided by the
				association per the instruction of the judges. During the quarantine, the horse
				shall be retested periodically, but it shall not be permitted to race. In
				addition, during the period of the quarantine the horse may be exercised and
				trained at times prescribed by the commission. Removal of a horse from
				quarantine without the permission of the judges shall constitute a waiver of
				any claim of normally high levels for that specific horse. A request for
				quarantine shall be made within seventy-two (72) hours of notification of a
				violation of this rule.
(c)
				Subsequent to the horse being quarantined and retested, if the commission is
				satisfied on the basis of clear and cogent evidence derived from the testing of
				the horse's blood that such levels are physiologically normal for that specific
				horse, the judges may waive the provisions of this rule and permit the horse to
				race. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b), the judges shall assess
				the expense of quarantine to the association if they determine that high blood
				levels are physiologically normal for that specific horse. In addition, no
				disciplinary action will be pursued by the judges or the commission against the
				trainer of any horse found, after quarantine, to have physiologically normal
				levels in excess of the levels established in section 2 of this rule.
(d) For purposes of this section, clear and
