Back when I was racing, when a blood or urine sample came up as positive for an "unknown" , basically we were given a warning of sorts and nothing much else became of it. This seems to no more be the practice with a few exceptions. This may be of significance if one is treating a horse with herbal medications of unknown compounds.
Here are some states which act on unknowns:
