Multiple reports describe alleged widespread recreational drug use among attendees at Royal Ascot, including claims that substances such as cocaine and ketamine are being used by racegoers. The articles frame the discussion around the five-day meeting and the setting of the event, which includes areas such as the Royal Enclosure, where the reports say usage occurs.
The sources do not present specific, verifiable evidence of individual cases within the provided text, but they assert that use is common and that “insiders” attribute responsibility to particular groups or networks. The reports also reference the overall high-profile nature of the event, including participation by the royal family, and present the topic as part of a broader “truth” behind what happens at the races.
Overall, the coverage focuses on allegations rather than documented enforcement outcomes, while emphasizing that the claims extend beyond general attendance to more exclusive sections. The reports collectively suggest that drug use is perceived as a known issue among some attendees during the Ascot meeting.
