Tony-- a couple things:
1-- Agree with Bob on involving the authorities. That is indeed why we have a justice system-- the public doesn't have the resources or the power to enforce the law. A boycott might or might not be effective in the broad sense (depending on several factors, i.e. whether the industry is competent, aside from being motivated, and aside from being concerned about covering their asses), but individual trainers won't stop unless there is a cannon pointed at them.
2-- California is the place where they have tried the hardest to stop the drug guys. Things have varied from meet to meet (Hollywood didn't take it nearly as seriously as Santa Anita-- which I know both from looking at sheets and from talking to people involved-- and Del Mar has shut down all but maybe one guy). I spent a fair amount of time looking at that issue BEFORE I went out to that contest.
