hmmmm...thinking out loud here.

what if horses could only receive treatment, injections and so forth, from a track vet(s), answerable only to the track, or ntra. all injections, etc would have to come only from an approved source. so often you read about certain trainers and vets staying ahead of the testing curve by using items that aren't yet test-able(er, is that a word?? -it is now...) so what if there was a locked medicine cabinet, one key held by one person, and all meds could only come from that cabinet?? is that doable? if not, why not?

i hate to come back to nascar, but look at what they do...all parts have to meet the criteria set forth by the governing body. everything put on the car, the car itself inspected for the slightest discrepancy, and HUGE fines ()esp compared to horse racing!!) for those who get caught out. no appeals that drag on incessantly.
