Others scheduled to speak include Jeff Novitzky, who investigated high-profile performance-enhancing drug cases in pro sports while working for the U.S. government. Novitzky is now an executive with Ultimate Fighting Championship. He’ll discuss some of his experiences in the anti-doping campaign.
The Jockey Club’s first round table conference was held in New York City in 1953. The following year, it moved to Saratoga Springs.
