I don't think team trainers should be summarily disciplined when players get caught juicing. But I do absolutely believe team owners should be fined in that situation.

You have me on the Jeremy Rose thing, I admit.

My point is that the owners are the top of the food chain. If they are not culpable, then you are less likely to see compliance. Trainers will simply see their modest penalties as a cost of doing business. And just who is paying that bill?
In theory, I don't have a problem including owners in the group that needs to be accountable. But the way things are now, a lot needs to be set up to remove all grey area from accidental overages, etc before I would ever sign up for that plan, especially if a first time offense was punishable at the owner level.
