P Val has gotten how many chances??
This probably isn't about whether she rides again but whether she beats this and saves her life .....

I'm with you on this one, doc, and a very good point about PVal. For those who have no sympathy....well, that's your prerogative. Like doc has no doubt seen, I've also seen the ravages drug addiction wreaks. You throw someone away when they have this problem, or, if they're sincere in their desire for recovery, you forgive. No one said second chances don't have to be earned.
As to whether she ever lost her license, this quote from the article I linked above:
"Former jockey Greta Kuntzweiler, sentenced Friday to five years' probation after being convicted in Jefferson Circuit Court on methamphetamine-related charges, said she hopes to regain her racing license and ride again some day."
