I was hoping to tune in tonight and find the TSheets for the 4 subject horses I mentioned earlier, (Lawyer Ron, Left Bank, Freedom's Daughter and Warners), unfortunately they were not provided, but I'd like to make an educated guess about what those sheets would indicate to buttress the point that performance enhancing drugs were involved in their demise.

Lawyer Ron was a precocious 2YO and an active 3YO. He had established a level of performance and was a good horse. Plech took him over and struggled a bit with him but in the Whitney ran him as fast as a Negative 5 or better, far exceeding his previous level of performance even though that level was fully established by frequency. Plech was going to run him in the new Breeders Cup Dirt mile, but immediately after the Whitney spoke of pointing him for the Classic.

Left Bank, was a fast shortish winded horse, until his 5YO year. Suddenly he jumped up to performance levels in his last 2 races that were in the TFig category of Negative 3. I believe that at the time, such a figure would have been the fastest TFigs ever assigned. After that remarkable Whitney, Left Bank sickened almost immediately and was dead in 2 months.

Freedom's Daughter was a 2YO filly and only had 2 starts. She died undefeated, but if I don't miss my guess her last win a Grade II was her career top. It was a slow raw time race, though TGraph could clarify the Figure.

Warners was a 3YO colt. He started a total of 6 times and once again was dead in about a week after winning his last race. A race which I believe was probably a career top. Once again, Tgraph could clarify that issue. The following site says he died of "laminitis". Obviously, it was much more than that:

It may be that the subject horses did not all run last race career tops. If they didn't it wouldn't change the fact that their deaths were Not random. But a finding by Tgraph that they were career tops would add even more weight to the issue.
