Hong Kong SHOULD have the highest standard and ability to handle issues in a quick and judicious fashion being they have gobs of funding and a tiny horse population that is isolated in one well guarded backside.
It is nice that instead of rushing to judgement and screaming cheaters like they would here they are taking an active role in getting to the bottom of the issue unlike most jurisdictions in the US which would be far more interested in coming to conclusions without a real investigation. Or like the loose cannon in New Mexico making insinuations based upon his own personal opinions derived from the vast experience of 12 months on the job.
As I and many others have said, the idea that racing anywhere is crystal clean is ludicrous. Where I wish the US could copy HK is adopting rules like they have that clearly state exactly the steps taken after there is a positive test which may exonerate those which may be victims of something beyond their control as it seems to be in this case or nail and punish harshly those who are absolutely guilty.
