a line has to be drawn somewhere, and it should be drawn with a permanent marker! no grey areas, no sliding scale. no excuses!

Danz - As long as medication is part of the game, situations like this will occur. It's not a right/wrong debate - please reread the post- I make no excuses for him and clearly point out that it's 100% his responsibility to which he clearly concurs by evidence of his waving his right to appeal.
My contention is with the select few who have chosen this idiotic and illogical rush to judgement: 1 bute overage = OMG!! CHEATER!! It's assinine and baseless:

I don't like to say it because I am a regular listener, but even the veterinarians and the barns that are cheaters get regular spots on radio shows just like the one that is connected to this site. Sad but true....

Way to go, Columbo! You've unraveled the mystery! I'm sure Papi Chullo has never been tested under his care.
