SC the only place he didnt cheat was William and Mary and the Jets because either they would'nt allow it or he didnt have to I bet he wished he was able to cheat when he was with the Jets because that team stunk!! I agree with one of my most admired coaches for my money Dr. Tom Osborne who throughout his time at Nebraska advocated paying the players some money so that everyone didnt have to cheat to keep up...... just one man's opinions but dont give me that Holier then thou crap from a Notre Dame fan.

You can't take Oracle seriously on things like this. If he has it in for someone, he will bash them for things that he would never bash someone else for. For example, since he doesn't like Garret Gomez, he always bashes Gomez for his past problems with substance abuse, but I've never heard him bash Jerry Bailey or P Val for their past problems with substance abuse.
If a trainer that Oracle likes gets nailed with a drug positive, he'll come up with every excuse in the book. The funniest one was when he said that mepivicaine was for dental work and that's why the horse tested positive for it. When he realized that mepivicaine is not used for dental work then he said that even thought the horse was given the drug, the trainer must not have known about it. He tries to argue that guys like Todd Pletcher and Steve Asmussen are in the dark about what drugs their horses are getting, but he thinks that Pete Carrol knows if Reggie Bush gets a free room in Las vegas. These aren't exactly rational arguments.
