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.

he's a guy who has run afoul of the rules more than once, and knows all about the rules and regs in place in a detention barn. he chose to ignore the rules.
fact is, he and ny cut a deal. and it sucks. if that's all the time you get for ignoring detention barn rules, then yes, it's a joke. i'm beginning to think it's all a joke. dutrow still has a case he's fighting from a year ago, as does asmussen. pletcher still has one over his head from the bc with wait a while, as someone pointed out above. trainers think it's a joke, and usually refer to suspensions as vacations. then, when they return, they get better horses from owners looking to cash in on whatever magic bullets these trainers use.
you call it wanting a lynching? i call it turning a blind eye, forgiving repeat offenders, and excusing what shouldn't be excused. the guy's a repeat cheater. seven days, bfd. oh, but it was 'just a mint'. yeah, cause mullins said so-and god knows he's always honest.
