Capsicum is the substance used to treat horses' legs which is a banned substance for the purposes of competition. It is designed to numb the sensation in the legs, so the horse will not notice if it knocks itself.

Two horses were banned at the Olympics as a result of its use.

Capsicum is a genus of plants, whose fruits do not always contain (significant quantities of) capsaicin (eg, it is practically absent from sweet peppers). The horses were banned for use of capsaicin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin
