They should be dealt with swiftly, and seriously in all cases, regardless of what class drug they've been caught with. The fact that hes continued to get snatched up for things since the CA suspension shows his disregard for the regulation in this industry. Serious changes need to be made

We live in America and as such have rights. If you commit a crime do you go to prison right away? Of course not. There is this thing called bail...and then a trial...and possibly an appeal...
You have to get a grip about this and understand that there are laws that commissions need to adhere to and that will be the case if there is a federal commission as well. Just as everything else in society, if you hire a lawyer and fight it, it will take some time.

Personally I think that his CA suspension was a joke. It was a class 2 drug and was something that I think it is very hard to prove that there is an approved therapuetic value to it. Guanabenz have been around for years and they have had a test for years. This sentence was very light but they arent saying why.

But trainers have the same rights as every other American, including the criminals. That is not going to change. Though I think that foreign born trainers who are suspended should be deported or executed (whatever costs the taxpayers less)
