Well,I am more worried about the knee than the more popular(to talk about)drug issue.I've watched him ride for over 25 years,and 98% of the time,I thought his rides were totally top rate.The other 2 % were rides during his first couple days back from a layoff(that is not when to play him,) and when he tried to come back from(fighting the pain from) an injury(foot maybe.)If he acted like a drug addict (at the track,) I'd be the 1st to say he shouldn't be out there.People on drugs (at work) aren't productive,or are too inconsistent(or careless.) They don't produce.This has not been the way he acts at work.If he was as careless or inconsistent as somebody like Arroyo has sometimes been,then I could see the interest in banning him.To be honest,this guy is only useful(to society) when he is riding.I'm much more interested in whether he is gunna be riding with a body that will allow him to give everybody involved a good fair ride.People should be worried about whether he is totally healthy,because I have seen him ride while suffering with an injury.It does affect his performance(I don't think drugs do.)We can test him for drugs.We can't test him to make sure his body is good enough to hold up.I think if Solis is allowed to be out there riding(like a scared woman,) then it's pretty hard to say somebody else shouldn't be out there.
