TGJB,

I love that idea, but in the mean time it's pretty clear to me the security barn and 24 hour surveillance is not doing much in terms of stopping some of the "suspects". Like I said above, this is evidence that if there is widespread cheating, they are using something that is more like a long term treatment. I'd also guess it's currently "not illegal".

As soon as someone figures out exactly what it is racing will probably make it illegal. However, it seems likely that those that are engaging is any activity like this will keep all the purses, glory, etc... and move onto the next legal performance enhancer until your idea or something like it is implemented. Even then, they will keep all the success they are presently accumulating. It doesn't shock me that some owners are willing to use trainers that are "suspected" of using performance enhancers that are not illegal...yet. Whenever there is big money involved, some people are very attracted to grey.
