Is he kidding? It's in the interests of the state and racing in CA to let him treat a horse by using electric shock wave therapy within 3 days of a workout? Does he care to explain why he's sending a horse out to do 4 furlongs if he's got a problem necessitating three treatments in less than three weeks? What's there to heal that wouldn't also preclude such a workout, esp. given the analgesic effects?
Federal Bureau was a $1.2 million yearling. He's by Medaglia D'Oro out of Keen Pauline. I'm sure there's pressure to get him to the races, but this ain't the way.

Just once it’d be nice to see a trainer own their transgressions and take the punishment and move on
