A very well thought out post. Much appreciated.

Thought TGJB's "nonsense" positive caught me a bit by surprise.

Am assuming he was distinguishing between the "effects' of the actual substances in question on a kind of "first level" analysis.

You have taken the conversation to a "Bud Light Year Infinity and Beyond"
level with a little Columbo interwoven. )"Oh....just one more thing"

Am not going to repeat a previous rant on Bob B or any of the chemistry Majors on the backstretch. It is pretty clear that Trainers, Vets, Meds Suppliers, etc. all directly involved with backstretch help, owners and track managements acting as silent co-conspirators. (at different levels of participation).

Proving it is the challenge.
