Point well taken. Although I have never seen any stats on the question, my assumption would be that there are many more jockeys engaged in the practice which concerns you than there are taking illegal drugs, in which case the problem is of a much greater magnitude. My guess is that condemnation in this forum is not going to change that, and that unless the reg authorities decide to do something, which seems highly unlikely, it's going to continue to be a matter between the individual jockey and his or her conscience. Jockeys claim to be and want to be treated as professionals, but the hallmark of a professional is someone who is able to put the interests of others ahead of his or her personal interests. Nor is there anything that I know of which is preventing the Jockey Guild and/or similar orgs from addressing the problem.
