Who allowed the work to be ok'd and the horse to run?

which is all the more reason why it's gotten to this point at penn national. look, i don't know why this hasn't happened sooner. i think a better question would be why did horse racing let it get to this point? had they gotten their act together long before now, you wouldn't have these cases now. the feds have been hinting around for a while, congress has made noises. tracks and others just kept going along like before. i figure someone made a call, or someone decided this could be handled this way. it ought to be a wake up call to anyone else engaging in this sort of behavior.
