He's a guy who is from out of town and got caught doing something that he probably thought was legit. I totally understand the detenion barn rules, but if it could be proved that a horse was treated with the air power weeks earlier, then there are apparently other bigger problems to worry about at the detention barn. Also do you think there would be as much outrage if it was a guy like Michael Matz who shipped in and got caught? I think it was a fair punishment, it was cough syrup, but since it was Mullins people want him lynched.

This is exactly what he wants everyone to think.
They checked him before he went in, and did nothing,
so the administration was legal. This is what he would
have you believe and its bull. He knows damn well
what he did was illegal. He says he did not. That is
a lie.

It may however be true that another trainer or person
associated with a horse has done the same thing and
got the same punishment. Maybe someone knows if
this rule has been violated and this is the first offense
punishment. If this is true, then the punishment is merely
following precedence. Which one really cannot argue.
