According to federal documents, Izhaki was a distributor of illegal drugs which were neither approved for sale in the United States nor provided pursuant to prescriptions. Izhaki sold products directly to trainers, sometimes out of her car in various parking lots. The primary drug she was accused of peddling was a Mexican-produced erythropoietin (EPO) which was originally formulated by an unidentified source to treat cancer in pets. Izhaki sold the EPO to an undercover source and an undercover officer and also suggested that she could provide a masking agent she called “The Devil,” as well as amphetamines. Izhaki said The Devil was so strong a horse could be given cocaine and not test positive.
