Picogate? Have a heart...This **** is so stupid. TAP doesn't even use this stuff? Was it detected in the horse's blood twice? Yes! how did a minuscule amount find its way into the horse? Who knows? What do you want to do? Fine the guy 250k for what he doesn't even administer the stuff. Do you want to ban all therapeutic drugs? How the heck will the horses heal? Do you want them in pain after they twitch an ankle or get kicked in a race, or have a quarter crack? They get hurt like all athletes. Do you think Spieth didn't get a shot of cortisone or some other antiinflammatory med?
