She misunderstood buzzer and thought buzzed...typical for an Obama voter.

Wow. You guys don't think things through much, do you?

The guy was so desperate for a paycheck he used a buzzer. Yeah, he should be checked for drugs. Doubt he was that desperate for food and housing.

Please pee in a cup Riot....I knew it. Chamomille tea. The Hurt Locker for you.

Yeah, no possibility the guy was looking for money to support his drug habit. That's absurd :D

As absurd as Weiner's Twatter account being hacked....yeah no one who tries to game the system is drug-free.

The guy was given a 5-year suspension. Nothing wrong with making sure he's absolutely clean coming back to the backside.

You guys defending against that makes perfect sense :D

I want Nerdy Trail posters drug tested for lead.

Should Pat Valenzuela have been given a Rorshach test by the State of Louisiana because of how dumb he had been over the years? The punishment fit the crime and the entity that banned him will be watching over him for years to come.

Those caught with buzzers should have to go thru a metal detector.

Your overall judgement just keeps gaining in strength.

Yes, I think that guys who have been ruled off for five years need to have drug testing added to their probation if they try and come back to the track.

The only thing bizarre and weird about that is you guys falling over yourselves saying no way :D

Amazing that some of us think the punishment fit the crime. How do you feel about Florida drug testing welfare applicants?

A track has every right to ensure those on their backstretch are drug free. Especially those that have been ruled off for five years.

You really didn't answer the question.

Yeah, I did. Tracks have a great degree of privacy. They can make virtually any conditions they'd like when allowing someone who has been ruled off back onto their property.

So are you saying that the government would be wrong to test people recieving some sort of financial aid?
I would think that they would be able to make up whatever conditions they wanted as well.

yeah, low level jock's have no problem paying bills.

How "drug free" do you think the collective American backstretch is to single out this one dude for testing? You don't actually think they have some sort of freshly laundered white linen image to uphold, do you?

I just looked up "obfuscation" in the dictionary, and strangely enough, found a picture of Riot right next to the definition.

This dude is getting "singled out" by me because he's just been off five years and wants back. Anybody off that long, for any reason - Biancone, etc - can go through the same thing in my opinion.
