JB there is a lot going on there. I am not certain that the trainer’s intent/ attempt to cheat is even relevant. As Fairduel’s Jesuit law professors likely taught him, [i]mens rea [/i] is not an element of the offense.
If the split comes back clean that calls the entire testing process into question. Send samples to two other labs?
I know BB is a lightning rod but for me too many voices out there saying that injected hock/stifle too close to race day could produce the overage found in ME. If this is a horse with a weak hind end and he even competes in three races in five weeks without lasix that would be quite a training feat.
