Richie -
I looked back at the December 2005 exchange you are discussing. What Barry Irwin said at that time was that, based on his discussion with vets, Pletcher's positive looked like a case of contamination and not an intentional violation of the rules to gain an advantage (although he did not describe the underlying facts that led him to that conclusion). I didn't read everything, but I don't think he said that mepivicaine was harmless or could not be used to enhance performance.
