Calling for a life time ban on any trainer with a postive test without differentiating between accidental overages of no performance enhancing drugs, and flat out juicing is one of the dumbest things I ever heard.

Well see, if a trainer does the testing on his own then he/she will know that the horse is clean before the horse races. The trainer will know what is in the horse so therefore the trainer can make sure that everything is out of the horses system.
