In fact, I can't understand why repeatedly adminstering illegal drugs to horses isn't "animal abuse" and punishable by the real authorities (i.e., jail). There are laws against this kind of thing, and as long as the biggest thing these guys have to worry about is a suspension it's going to continue.
Lock up a few of these well-heeled trainers! Don't the police read the newspapers? I really don't get it. They should take the evidence from the racing boards or testing authorities or whatever and bring it straight to court.
Reminds me of Wall St. where they "don't admit to any wrongdoing", steal $100 million, and pay a $2 million fine. Sounds like a good deal to me! HP
