They are continually on a cycle, most trianers will go on for a while then remove the horse after hes over his lung infection. Lake continues use until he absolutely has to remove them, when you do that you open the window for a positive.
Then cheaper trainers will claim off Lake, not continue is training regimen, and ultimately the horse flops.

Bid-- I was not directing my comment towards you ...or anyone actually...except perhaps the person who started the thread. I just wanted to point out for those that might not know that this drug --while outwardly appearing to make a difference in a horse will not actually improve it's performance.
Nor do I have any idea about the training methods of Scott Lake...
i agree with you that a horse will 'crash' when taken off this drug...much like humans do. I also believe that it is a wonderful product when used for its intended purpose...it allowed a 'heavy' old pony that i knew to live quite comfortably in his final years, and we gave it all the time to yearlings when they developed coughs or mucous after shipping to a sale.
As you said in your initial post there is no excuse for a clen overage. Either the horse is sick and doesn't run until it finishes the medication and subsequent withdrawl time. OR it isn't...and then the trainer has to deal with the consequence.
