i'm not in the industry so i am only guessing but it seems to me both vets and doctors might go a little overboard with the drugs to get their horses on the track and their players on the field. when's the times going to run that story?

i can't imagine being a trainer, and caught in between the different factions. owners want their horse to run, so you're supposed to perform miracles to get them healthy if they arne't-but don't spend too much on drugs (cause drugs are bad, mkay) or medical care-cause then you get griped at about the bills. but if you don't call the vet, well, why isn't the horse running? then you have the track wanting your help in filling a race. you want to do right by the horse, and you're stuck between competing interests.
and you know there's something wrong with our pharmaceutical companies when they're coming out with new pills for growing thicker eyelashes. can't cure cancer yet, but at least your corpse will have thick lashes when you shuffle off this mortal coil.
crazy world anymore.
