No, horse racing will have committed assisted suicide because it has allowed itself to be run as outlaw enterprise that, not incidentally, also is wagered on by the public. If casinos or lotteries tolerated the level of cheating that is routinely accepted in horse racing, there would be an avalanche of indictments and people sitting in the graybar motel. But horse racing cannot even muster the most basic of standards to protect the bettor (and, I might add, the horses).

I hate the Feds more than most, but this is entirely self-inflicted and was wholly predictable (I know since I predicted it 10 years ago).
