Yes, milkshakes were legal until the 1990's, and if you go back a few decades, heroin, amphetamines, caffeine, etc. was legal, too.

Very few people have ever been caught in the act.

That apparently is the controversy ... was the horse seen being tubed by the undercover agent the horse that was racing that day, or was it another horse (the horse that raced the previous day) and the agent mixed up what stall/horse he saw tubed.

BTW, the horse in question (the horse racing that day) was not allowed to race that day.
