Any preacher will tell you there is always someone asleep in the choir.

I guess the short answer is "The Constitution." The smart ass question
as answer is "Why did we let him in?"

America and France each have an affinity with the equine. In France and
other nations the equine is eaten at respectable tables. In India they
have starving people yet seem to bow at passing cattle

Absolutely no offense meant here Rose, but I am in New York City, where
bona fide murderers are returned to the streets in the same decade that
they committed their crimes. What really has to happen to the serious
(multiple violation) outfits is that their stall allotment suddenly starts
to shrink; hopefully other racing venues play along. This is how I know
Racing doesn't really care; the cheaters (multiple positives) always get
their stalls in the end. This is because you have owners who will always
align with the cheaters for the high win percentage.

Because they have lots of money left over after sponsoring the honest sports?
Baseball (Canseco may have been a visionary), Football (most successful coach
caught cheating, New York Post put asterisk next to Patriots' name in stand-
ings) and Basketball (part of the problem is all that talk about the Ref and
his gambling buddies and none of these guys seemed to be horseplayers).

People know that there are drugs and other forms of cheating in Racing.
But these "people" for the most part are gambling in a recreational way,
the way I do. Most of these people would not want abstain from a pursuit
they enjoy in hopes of purifying the sport. For the people who make a
living in the sport, they are in no position to stop "working" so they
will continue to play and support the game in its current state.
