Why does this surprise anyone? They killed the drug bill in a slow legislative death; last year Churchill had no drug testing the first 6 weeks of the meet because all the vets were too busy with the bacteria outbreak...and they did not even announce this until 2 months after the spring meet opened and testing was supposedly resumed; and there was an "entry" strike at Turfway only averted when they watered down (no pun intended) the new testing procedures and more importantly the trainer consequences.

Being shocked at anything related to drug testing in Kentucky is equivalent to being SHOCKED (as MSN put it) that Barry Bonds might have used steroids...where did they think he got that neck???
