>AGAIN-- the way the rules are set up, a trainer can be using performance enhancing drugs on his horses, and not be doing anything "illegal." <
IMO, the problem here is that many people are focusing their attention on the trainers and not the industry.
Why attack someone that is following the rules in a highly competitive sport where millions of dollars are at stake when what people really don't like is the rules?
For all we know, there are some trainers that are using performance enhancers legally that would rather run totally clean but can't because they would be out of business. They are actually on our side. The trainers we want to punish are the ones that are breaking the rules. Other than that, we need to change the industry.
