I find it to be a character flaw to kick someone when their addictions take everything away from them.

We all have our faults.
I USED to be a big PVAL fan...."used to" being the key words. This 9 time loser has had way too many chances and should be removed from racing permanently.......eventually he will come to the track loaded or strung out and cause havoc out there...I say adios pval......good riddance.

He was winning at about a 9% clip this go around. He can stay gone now. He's not good enough to get another chance.

Time for the permanent ban. I feel bad for anyone with a substance problem but I lose all sympathy rather quickly when someone risks other peoples lives driving around loaded.

That being said I am sure someone will license him.

The man has a dirty addiction, plain and simple. Look at Heath Ledger, or John Belushi for that matter. They can't help himself, to just say they are weak minded is simplifying it too much.

Has P Val had one too many chances, yes. Should anybody care? Probably not. I for one hope he seeks help to kick his demons once and for all, first for himself and not from a horseracing point of view. As a samaritan it is much better I would say than shoving someone under a bus.
