Why, though, is a positive on a legal medication OK? And why is it that the same trainers seem to have the problem with the legal medications?
If it's illegal, it's illegal. What is the problem with understanding that concept?

Didn't know you spoke for him....After reading your post, I doubt he does too.
It's illegal and the trainer is paying the price. I don't know where you got the impression that is was "OK" to purposely break the rules - certainly not from my post.
The only point that was attempting to be debated was the vagueness of the rule, the fact that you can use this medication practically up to post time, (topically) and the crap shoot as to which ones will test positive and which ones won't.
Lidocaine doesn't give anyone any sort of racing advantage, and inadvertant overages happen every day of the week around this country, feel free to ask Nick Zito about it.
If you can't decern the difference between a minor non-perfromance inhancing legal med overage and a blantant violation of controlled substances (EPO doping, Milkshaking, et. al.) then I can see why my post went clearly over your head.
