GTFOOH. Apologists for the status quo have been the greatest detriment to this sport for decades.

I wouldn't have Dutrow still in the sport, so neither BS or apologist here. The current state of medication detection has far outpaced actions of the sport on the results and findings. Jurisdictions differ in how they treat participants. The medication rules hardly need adjustment as much as the sport as a whole needs a cohesiveness rather than the individual and varying fifdoms of present.

Yes, the proposed regs are an overreaction, and terrible for the sport. Not even a viably preferable alternative to "doing nothing".
