You mentioned the other sports where cheating occurs....baseball (cleaned it up and is prosecuting those that took steriods and humiliating those "great" players like Clemens and McGuire by not allowing them in the Hall of Fame. That is how a real industry handles those that taint the sport). Football, hockey have done similar. Cycling?!?? Are you joking? The drug issue in that sport is destroying it. They can't get a good handle on it and it is killing the sport. Olympics....very similar to cycling.
I understand that cheating has been in the sport forever. But cheating today is completely different and much, much, much more rampant.
There's really no point in you and I debating it. I believe the horse players should try and stand up to this in whatever way they can. You believe horse players should excuse it so you can keep playing the game. The current drug situation in the sport came on the scene in the mid to late 1990's. Same time as baseball and all the other sports.

You are simply speculating and have no real clue of what you are talking about. The idea that there is more "cheating" now than 30 years ago is laughable. The difference is that there is a whole lot more info available. 30 years ago you would have never heard of guys you have named in this thread because there was no simulcasting and for the most part people followed one circuit and no one paid any attention to anyones win percentage. Stop trying to pass off your opinion as fact especially when your entire defense is baseball players or cyclists.
