Well, as is so often the case, AKC made a pronouncement that wasn't thought 
all the way through.
Now, after being questioned, the AKC has released this statement:


"I  have received clarification from AKC on the new "drug" policy added to
the ban  on foreign substances in dogs' coats. The drug policy prohibits the
use of drugs  which alter a dog's appearance, temperament or movement, and 
will
be  complaint-driven, requiring supporting veterinary records. Judges are 
not
expected to make the determination. The banned substances do not include 
such
 items as thyroid medication, joint supplements, vitamins, etc."

     In other words, we're back to business as usual.
