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)

Yes, that's an excellent point. I wasn't 100% sure of that aspect to this, however, along those lines is why I am concerned about ancillary issues -- contamination, etc. Now in this case, based upon what you've said, that shouldn't come into play and be part of the equation.

While it might not be completely applicable, we really need all the facts if we are going to talk about 30 days vs. 1 year, or more for that matter. Regardless, we don't need facts to know that a rule has been broken and a penalty must be handed down.
