Jury Convicts Lisa Giannelli For Marketing and Selling Hundreds of Untestable Performance Enhancing Drugs to Racehorse Trainers Across the United States

Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced the conviction at trial of defendant LISA GIANNELLI, on one count of drug adulteration and misbranding, with intent to defraud and mislead, in connection with a nearly twenty-year scheme to create and distribute “untestable” performance enhancing drugs for use in professional horseracing. GIANNELLI was one of over thirty defendants charged in four separate cases in March 2020, each arising from this Office’s multi-year investigation of the abuse of racehorses through the use of performance enhancing drugs.
