I cant believe they could possibly be this friggin stupid

Did they test the horse too? Grapevine said they wanted to rate him and PZ is known to be a crazy speed baller, so maybe he smoked in his vicinity to calm him down.

I wonder if NYRA would have reacted the same way if Lynch was saddling a horse that was going for the triple crown.

Maybe they should be more concerned with the lack of consistency of their stewards or maybe look more closely at trainers that are possibly cheating as opposed to the nonsense they got on Lynch.

Just when you thought you've seen it all, something else happens that just makes you shake your head.

I really do not understand what this has to do with the horse. Drug testing is done for a reason and all the players know the rules, so a person takes the risk when he uses drugs while in a position when you are eligible for testing...but what the hell does the horse have to do with it. FFS!!!

Will have far reaching consequences for Brian as he will probably have all kinds of problems crossing the border back to the USA in the future as an admitted drug user. There was a case a couple of years ago when a University prof was refused entry when the border guard googled his a name and a research paper on the effects of LSD which he authored back in the 70's showed up. When questioned about it he admitted he had tried it a couple of time back then as research and just like that he was denied entry as an admitted drug user.
Also know of several cases applying for a Nexus or TSA pre-approval card were turned down because they answered the question whether they had smoked a joint truthfully.
