" ... there are many designer epo drugs/super pain meds that are NOT tested for."
Yes. I know what those drugs classes and substances are, and what they could do for a horse.
"The discussion here is about the conspiracy idiots who think there is a TAP/Allday illegal drug conspiracy making TAP win lots of stakes/races. Without knowing ANYTHING about arguably the most talented/expensive barn ever assembled and without racing common sense, the conspiracy idiots read the nonsense about the "White Mercedes" and latch on."
Exactly, Miff.
Drug use in racing is indeed a problem. However, the conspiracy theorists prefer to throw out generalized, unsubstantiated acusations of "drug use" - even talking about specific horse performances and specific professionals - without having a clue as to what specific drug(s) could have been used in that circumstance, how they work, how long it takes to effect a result, when the drug would have to be given, in light of the racing jurisdiction they are discussing.
It's easy to throw out such generalized accusations from the anonymity of a discussion board, even if one is obviously essentially ignorant of what they are discussing. To consider themselves as striking a blow for clean racing is ludicrous.
