I admit I am a little skeptical about Jones and his seemingly meteroic rise from Ellis Park and his often strange form reversals. But this is hardly the smoking gun. I would like to know what "racing", outside of having a better system of testing and being a bit more open about what is happening with that testing, can do to avoid having positive tests?

You are only a little skeptical? LOL. I know you are being politically correct. I am more than a little skeptical. As you said, having a slight overage with chlenbuterol is not that big of a deal. I'd like to know what Jones is using in addition to chlenbuterol. I know it ain't oats and water.
It's funny how these dead-average trainers like Art Sherman win at a 10-12% clip for 20 years and then all of a sudden start winning at 30%.
