You're barking up the wrong tree being mad at the media, really what do you want them to do? You should be mad at the tracks for not being able to prove this guy is cheating. More importantly you should be mad at the sport for a lack of a governing body which is able to enforce real penalties and suspensions.

and a lack of people at said tracks who will ban someone. you have to have your trainer cut a horses' leg off before they deny you stalls.

Testing is usually done at the commission or state level. Tracks don't test horses or really have much to do with specific testing.

They can deny stalls and/or entry.

yep. and some trainers should have licenses revoked.
did the sport suffer when biancone(for example) wasn't training? why was he allowed to come back? what purpose did that serve? i would say none.

Or at least give these guys a hard time and treat them with suspicion instead of treating them like royalty.
